Flash Sentry The Spectacular Spider-Man Issue #3:The Gold Serpent/Welcome to Tokyo (OLD NOT CANON UNIVERSE)
Chapter 2: Welcome to Tokyo
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA plane from Equestria Airlines landed in the Haneda international airport and certain blue haired boy wearing an Equestria State Cap, a black bomber jacket along with a black hoodie and carrying a Duffle Bag walked out of one of the gates, "HELLO TOKYO!", said Flash Sentry
"There he is!", said a woman wearing a beige trench coat who had long red hair, cyan eyes and light orange skin, "FLASH!, OVER HERE!", Flash turned around to see his Aunt Spark Flamewalker Sentry waiving at him, Looks like that's my cue
Flash ran up to his Aunt and gave her a big hug, "Hey Aunt Spark!, Uh long time no see?", his Aunt giggled knowing that her nephew was still the same dorky goofball
"Oh..my..god you must be starving from that long journey!, Don't worry because luckily for you, you're Aunt Thunderstar has been cooking all day anticipating for your arrival!", Flash laughed knowing that his Aunt Thunderstar Sentry always used to cook whenever Flash and his Family came to Japan to stay for a month, "Well let's go!"
Flash followed his Aunt to her Minivan and put his Dufflebag in the trunk, "Wow even 10 years after I'm still amazed by it, "Man you guys are so lucky to live here, not even Manehattan has the kinda flare Tokyo has!", said Flash as he got into the Car
"Oh come on Equestria isn't so bad!", His Aunt started up her Car and drove off to their house, "Anyways what's it like coming here alone?, I mean I know your mother really well and she's probably hyperventilating right now"
**Meanwhile at Canterlot City**
Flash's mother Sabrina Sentry is hyperventilating to the thought of her son being in Tokyo without her for a month, "SHOULD I CALL HIM?!, SHOULD I TEXT HIM?!, I NEED TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S OKAY!"
"Uhh Honey?", said her boyfriend Mr. Cranky Doodle, "Calm down?, Flash probably hasn't even landed yet, plus you called your sister five minutes ago--"
"I AM HIS MOTHER!", Mr. Cranky Doodle got scared and ran out of the living room fearing for his own life a little
**Back in Tokyo**
"Pfffft, Naaah!", said Flash gesturing his hand, "Mom's cool!, I mean why else would she let me go alone, clearly she trusts me on my own, well at least I hope so"
Aunt Spark rolled her eyes, "Oh I heard you made it into Equestria State!", Flash nodded his head, "Well Congratulations!, Oh man me and Thunderstar were both so giddy when your mother called us a few weeks ago telling us your accomplishments, oh you're father would be so proud!
"Yeah I get that comment a lot!", Flash sighed, "So uh how's Snowstorm and Firestar doing", Snowstorm and Blazefire were Flash's cousins, one is a 4 year old girl while the other is a 13 year old girl
"Oh they're doing amazing, Snowstorm will start school this year and Firestar is gonna go to High School, oh they grow up so fast!"
Aunt Spark pulled up into her driveway and Flash grabbed his bag Oh Man this is a blast from the past, "Wow this place hasn't changed a bit!"
Flash and his Aunt Spark walked up to the doorway, "Oh if only I could get the right key", Aunt Spark fumbled with her keys before Flash simply knocked on the door, "Or you could do that", Aunt Spark blushed a little in embarrassment
A woman with long Blue hair the same color as Flash's hair, the same amber skin and thick rimmed glasses, A.K.A Flash's Aunt Thunderstar opened the door, "Oh My God Flash! you've gotten so tall", Aunt Thunderstar hugged Flash
"Uh good to see you to!", said Flash
"Oh you must be starving come in!", Flash walked inside and had so much nostalgia looking inside the house, Oh man, I'm pretty sure I have a picture of Mom and Dad sitting on that stairwell in their younger years
"Uh hey Aunty Thunder can I please borrow the Wi-Fi!", Aunt Thunderstar giggled a little hearing her 18 year old nephew still call her Aunty and gave him a paper with the Name and Password of their Wi-Fi connection, Flash connected onto the Wi-Fi and went on video chat
"FLASH!!, OH MY GOD YOU FINALLY CALLED!, I WAS GETTING REALLY WORRIED FOR A MINUTE, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH STRESS YOU'RE PUTTING ME THROUGH!, Flash's Aunt's giggled hearing Sabrina in overprotective mom mode
Flash chuckled, "Good to see you too mom!, uhh hey I'm just calling in to tell you that I'm fine and you can stop worrying about me now!", Flash gave his phone to Aunt Thunderstar who was still giggling a little from her older sisters little outburst
"Jeez Overprotective much?", said Thunderstar
"Oh Be quiet you!", said Sabrina playfully,"Unless you want Snowstorm to come to Canterlot all alone?", Thunderstar widened her eyes and was about to go into her own overprotective mom mode, "HAH!, I'm just kidding, but come on let me see the little munchkin
Thunderstar rolled her eyes and gestured to her wife to go get their youngest child, "So I was thinking, maybe this Christmas me Spark and the girls could come to Canterlot and spend time with you for maybe, pffft I don't know, a few weeks?
"Ohhh that's a great idea!, it will be like old times!, Spark came back holding a girl with snow white hair that was put into a pony tail, light teal skin and purple eyes, that girl was Snowstorm in her arms, "Someone want's to say hello!", said Spark
Thunderstar gave the phone to her wife, "OH MY GOD!, Hi Snowstorm!, It's me!, It's Aunty Sabrina!, Do your remember me?", Snowstorm hid her face in her mothers arms out of shyness
"Oh Snow it's okay", said Spark, "This is your Aunty Sabrina!", Snowstorm looked back at Sabrina and waived her hand at her
Sabrina cooed, "OH MY GOD!, You're so adorable!!", While Flash's mom was dying seeing her niece, a girl with long Orange hair, blue eyes and yellow skin came down the stairs this girl was as tall as Flash's Aunt Thunderstar, it was Flash's 13 year old cousin Firestar
"Moms?!, when are we eating dinner?",
Sabrina gasped"Is that Firestar!", Spark turned around and nodded, "Firestar come over here and say hi to your Aunt !"
Firestar rolled her eyes and took the phone, "Uh, Hi Aunt Sabrina!, uh how are you?"
"Oh my god!, You've gotten so big!, I'm doing so well!, how are you, Flash's mom was really giddy, "Oh!, your mother tells me you're going to high school this year?", Firestar nodded her head, "Well if you need any advice Flash has you covered!"
Firestar looked at Flash for a quick minute and then looked back at Sabrina, "Uh Okay!", she gave Flash his phone back
"Uhh, Mom it's getting really late, I'll talk with you tomorrow!"
"Okay then, Mommy Loves You!, Flash rolled his eyes and sighed, "I love you too mom, bye", Flash ended the call
*****
Flash, his cousins and his Aunts were all sitting at the dinner table eating, "Oh Wow Aunt Thunderstar!, this tastes amazing!", Flash was enjoying every last bite of his Aunt Thunderstars cooking, Hmmm, I haven't actually said anything to these kids, well I guess it's time to be my dad,
"So Uh Firestar!", Firestar looked at Flash, "How do you feel about going to High School this year?", Firestar shrugged
"Pfft, I don't care", she said, "I mean it's probably not that bad, aside from assignments and tests being really hard, wait!?, how was high school for you?"
Flash stroked his chin, "Well I'm not sure if it's like a high school in Tokyo, but to sum it up in one word, It was fine", Flash then turned to Snowstorm, "So uh, how about you little lady?, Are you excited for school?", Snowstorm looked at Flash with excitement
"Mommy say school is exciting!", Flash looked at both of his Aunts and made a corny remark, "Which one?"
Flash, his cousin Firestar and his two Aunts all laughed while Snowstorm was confused, "Well he's a still a dorky goofball isn't he?", Said Thunderstar looking at her wife
"Yup", Spark nodded her head and shrugged, "Oh!, That reminds me!, Snowy you have to go to bed!", Spark got out of her seat and picked up Snowstorm
"Awww", Snowstorm said disappointed, "I want to play with cousin Flash!", Spark giggled a little
"I know you do but it's almost midnight and you look like you're about to fall asleep, maybe tomorrow", Snowstorm was struggling to stay awake and only in a few seconds she fell asleep in her mothers arms, "Good night", Spark said softly before she kissed Snowstorm on the forehead
Once Spark came back from Snowstorm's room she came back holding a Blu Ray DVD of the Dark Knight, "So who want's to watch a movie tonight?", Flash shrugged, I guess that's why Aunt Spark wanted Snowstorm to sleep,
"I'm down!", Flash, Firestar, Thunderstar and Spark all left the Dining room and all got comfy on the couch, "Hey?, Didn't we watch this movie when you guys came to Canterlot like 5 years ago?"
Firestar stroked her chin, "Oh yeah!, I'm pretty sure Snowstorm was just born and we came to introduce you to her!, wow time flies by!"
"Oh I miss those times!", said Aunt Thunderstar, "Firestar was only in 3rd grade and Flash had just turned 14, oh they grow up so fast!", Spark put in the disc in the Blu Ray player
"Oh uh, honey can we talk for a quick minute", said Spark, Thunderstar got off the couch and both her and Spark walked into the living room, she looked behind her, "Look were gonna have to talk to him about it at some point, it's been 7 months since he passed away and we haven't even mentioned him since he got here!", she said whispering
Thunderstar sighed, "Look!, I don't know how to approach the subject of Flash's life after his dead dad, he seems to be in such a good mood, the thought of mentioning it to him might crush his heart!
When Flash's dad died, his Two Aunts along with his two cousins came to the funeral, they had never seen Flash so sad before in his life, they never even said a word to each other during their brief stay in, during that time Sabrina told them that he was so mute, he never said a word for almost a month and he'd stay locked up in his room for most of the day only coming down for when it was time to eat, even at school he wouldn't say a word to anyone, it crushed both of their hearts when they saw Flash in a state like that
"Well he has to talk to someone about it!", said Spark, "Well all know he wouldn't talk to any of his friends and his mom no offense by the way I love her, is way to soft on him!"
"Well shit I don't know what to do!", said Thunderstar, "look", she sighed, "Well ask him tomorrow , you know when the kids aren't around!, Spark massaged the bridges of her nose and eventually agreed
"Fine", she said sighing
They both walked back into the living room, "So Moms?, what were you two talking about?", asked Firestar
"Oh something that you kids wouldn't understand, you know grown up stuff!", said Spark trying to play it off
"I'm 18", said Flash, "I think I am liable enough to know what you two were talking about"
Both Aunts giggled nervously at Flash's remark, "Uh, it's more 34-37 year old talk Flash", said Aunt Thunderstar, "Nothing you would be interested in!", Aunt Thunderstar wanted to punch herself in the face after saying that but kept her cool and played it off, "Now anyways enough about what me and your aunt were doing and more of this movie
*****
They were all one hour into the Dark Knight, Flash had been more interested in the movie because he could somewhat relate to Bruce Wayne, Jeez who knew the only person I could connect to was a fictional character in one of the most greatest comic book series ever conceived
"Oh hey!", Firestar said spontaneously, "That reminds me, doesn't Canterlot City have that Spider-Guy thing or whatever?", Flash's eyes immediately widened, My God I almost forgot about Spider-Man
"Oh Uh Spider-Man?, yeah!, That guy, what about him?", Flash asked,
"Don't you ever wonder, how he got his powers and who the guy behind the mask is?", Flash couldn't help but kinda smirk, Oh man if only she knew she was talking to Spider-Man right now!, "Flash?"
"Hm?, Oh yeah!", Flash snapped back into reality, "I mean most people in Canterlot wonder if he's a good influence to kids, some seem to think so, while others, well, they're not at open minded, personally I think he's a creep swinging around town and as for his powers, for all we know he probably made a bunch of equipment or something!", The more I have doubt in myself the better,.. wait?
"What about you Moms?", Firestar turned to her parents, "What do you think of Spider-Man?", Spark and Thunderstar looked at each other and both shrugged
"Well I don't know!, He might be a creep like Flash said", said Thunderstar
"Maybe he might be nice though!", said Spark, "But I'm not counting it", Aw man first mom and now my two Aunts, what more could I do to make everyone like me
"Hey so uh? What do you and Snowstorm think of Spider-Man?", Flash asked Firestar
"Well Snowstorm liked Spider-Man because well she's a kid and doesn't know any better, I, well I don't hate him but I'm skeptical about how legit he is"
Oh Man, even Batman has more fans than Spider-Man, lame
*****
Flash his Aunts and his cousin all fell asleep midway through watching the movie,
**Inside Flash's Dream**
Spider-Man and Electro were in the old Abandoned Laboratory, "You're really starting to bug me!", Spider-Man spider-sense went off and saw Electro move lightning quick and came up behind him
"OH NO!", before Spider-Man could react Electro punched Spider-Man in the stomach stunning him and then kicking him in the back which sent him through a wall into another room, "Wait I've been here before!"
Electro walked towards Spider-Man charging up his hands creating an Electric Energy Disc, "Say hello to Doctor Whooves for me!"
Spider-Man clenched his fists, "NO!", he groaned before, Spider-Man was about to lunge towards Spider-Man before being blocked by an invisible wall, "What the hell?!"
Electro shot his Disc at beams holding a huge machine, "Nighty Night!", Spider-Man tried getting up but was too late
"NO!, NO!, FUCK!, NOT AGAIN!, Spider-Man was trying to lift the machine off of him and in the process he heard the voices of everyone close to him
"WHAT IS YOU PROBLEM!?", said Sunset
"DUDE NOT COOL, YOU LET YOURSELF LOST!", said Rainbow Dash
"HONESTLY DARLING WE EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU!", said Rarity, Spider-Man was shaking his head in disbelief widening his eyes
"Flash, I've told you time and time again with great power comes great responsibility", Spider-Man heard his fathers voice, "You have failed me, my son!"
Spider-Man felt the machine get heavier and heard a vitals machine flat lining, and he heard a doctor speak, "Sabrina Sentry, time of death 12:04 AM
Spider-Man's eyes widened, "No, No, this can't BE!, NO!"
*****
Flash woke up abruptly panting and put his hand on his forehead, It's just a dream!, Thank God!, Flash looked around him and saw all of his relatives sleeping on the couch, "What time is it?", Flash looked at his phone, "Well it's 5 AM", Flash got out his phone and decided just to check the news
"Hmm okay, lets see, Stock Market, Stock Market, Gas prices, robbery in progress, glob--, wait robbery in progress, this early?", Flash was gonna play it off normal"No!, It's my vacation time, I'm not gonna be Spider-Man just because there's a small crime
Flash decided to go on a game and after 5 seconds he couldn't help it, Dammit!, Flash looked at everyone sleeping, I guess I have time to spare
Flash ran to the room where he was supposed to sleep and grabbed his duffle bag, "Why I packed this is still beyond me!", Flash said sighing he got out a mask with white lenses with a black outline along with a body suit made of compression cloth which had a red and blue color scheme with a big Spider-Emblem in the chest area, some tan shorts and a green jacket
"This is where the fun begins!", Flash put on his clothing and put on some headphones as the finishing touch, I guess the GPS lady will be my guide
Spider-Man put in the address of the Mitsubishi Bank and opened the window, "Let's make this snappy", Spider-Man jumped out the window and shot a strand of webbing swinging off towards the Bank
At the Mitsubishi Bank of Japan a bunch of Robbers held a bunch of machine guns at the people of the desks in the bank pressuring them into putting money in their bags
Meanwhile Spider-Man was swinging through the city of Tokyo admiring the architecture around him, Man I forgot how beautiful this city looked!, Spider-Man kept swinging through the city until he saw more police cars going to the bank
A bunch of people pointed at Spider-Man swinging through the city and started cheering, Well at least one city loves me, Spider-Man saw an over energetic kid and he leaned down to high five him
The Kid couldn't contain his excitement and went crazy, Okay it's official Tokyo loves Spider-Man more than Canterlot City, Spider-Man saw the bank coming up and swung in through the door
"SPIDER-MAN!", One of the Robbers pointed out
"Hasn't your mother told you it's not nice to point" Spider-Man shot a web at one of the Robbers foot and pulled the web tripping him, My Spider-Sense is tingling
Spider-Man backflipped over a criminal who was about to punch him and he webbed him up, "Don't worry, the webs will come off in an hour!"
Spider-Man turned back to the other Robber who pointed a gun at him, "Jeez Robbers never learn!", Spider-Man spun a web and swung around the Bank trying to make the Robber dizzy
The Robber wanted Spider-Man to stay still and decided to hell with it and shoot the gun, Okay better finish this now before someone actually gets hurt
Spider-Man let go of his web and landed behind the Robber, "HEY!", The Robber turned around and pointed the gun at Spider-Man however it backfired on him, no pun intended
Spider-Man grabbed the gun and bent it, "Like I said before", Spider-Man punched the Robber in the stomach stunning him, "It's rude to point!", Spider-Man webbed him up and took the duffle bag of money, "Uh here you go miss", Spider-Man gave the money back to the lady behind the desk and swung off
Spider-Man got back to his Aunts house and luckily no one was awake and he assumed everyone was still asleep because he didn't get any calls on his phone, "Thank God!"
Flash took off his mask and changed into regular clothing and as he did so he immediately thought of the repercussions of being Spider-Man in Japan, What the hell was I thinking!, I have to keep Spider-Mans identity hidden it's my responsibility, If they find out that Spider-Man was in Japan they're gonna get suspicious!, I can't risk doing that again!
Flash finished changing and put his Spider-Man costume deep in his duffle bag making sure it was not visible to him, "Okay no one should find this thing!", Flash snuck downstairs and luckily everyone was still sleeping
"Oh Thank God", Flash sighed in relief
Author's Note
So back in Issue #1.5 I made Scootaloo into Spider-Gal in an alternate universe, when she met Flash I put them in a somewhat Older Brother, Younger Sister relationship and then discarded it completely, well midway through writing Issue #2 I wanted to have Flash have a sibling relationship, I was toying around with the cutie mark crusaders but they don't have any actual chemistry with Flash, than I looked at someone like Snips and Snails, but again they had virtually no chemistry with Flash in this story so I discarded that idea, so I created Snowstorm and Firestar to fill in that role for a sibling relationship with Flash
Also something interesting was this chapter went through so many rewrites, at first I was gonna have Flash beg J.Jonah Jameson to go to Japan to hunt down Gold Serpent but I couldn't make any good story out of it, than I decided to a vacation scenario where Flash goes to Japan because he's always wanted to go but when I thought about it in the grand scheme of things, I don't think Flash could afford to be in Tokyo for vacation, it took more rewriting and thinking and I had the idea of making Flash's relatives from Tokyo and that's where Flash's Aunts and Cousins were made, originally I only wanted Snowstorm to be an only child but after some more revamping I decided to also create Firestar, as for the two aunts, I don't really know myself the idea of Flash having two Aunts stuck with me so I just kept it in
