Spider-Man: Sunset Paradise

by Drakuse the Idiot King

Chapter 1: They say the sun never sets when you're in love.


They say the sun never sets when you're in love.

Alright let's get this party started and over. My name is Drake. You don't need my last name, so don't ask. I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for the past thirteen months I've been the one and only Spider-Man. I'm sure you know the rest.

My best friend turned their back on me and tried to kill me. I've saved the city at least once every month, despite what the media says, I am not a menace I swear, at least not on Tuesdays. I fell in love, had my girlfriend die in my arms on our anniversary during a fight with my best friend. Yeah I've had a very bad time.

Speaking of my ex-best friend we're having a fight right now.

CRASH!

A car flies over my head.

"Come on out Spidey so I can finally take off that mask of yours." She yells loudly.

Her name is Dr. Twilight Sparkle or as I used to call her Sci-Twi, however given her knack for using her four mechanical arms she fused to her back in an experiment gone wrong, Doctor Octopus is more fitting.

"I'm good Doc I've already gotten my prescription." I say loudly as I launch myself up using some webbing like a catapult.

Before I get to far though a blast of electricity hits me and knocks me to the ground.

"Hiya Spidey been a while hasn't it?" I hear as I jump back up.

I see the figure of a young woman sparking with electricity, Pinkamena Diane Pie. She was a normal high school student. Then she got picked on and found herself near an abandoned power plant. I don't really know what happened after that though. She dissappeard for a couple months then came back as an energy being hellbent on absorbing more energy and killing those that bullied her. Most people call her Electro now though.

"It's always a party when you show up." I grumble sarcastically.

My Spidey-sense goes haywire and I roll to the left. As I roll to the side I see Rainbow Dash swoop by. After stealing some technology from Stark Industries she had a group of minions build her a suit that lets her fly. Appropriately she's called the Vulture.

"Can you fuck off please? I'm trying to mourn over the death of a loved one and you guys are really pissing me off." I say as I slowly let the rage start to boil.

"Ahm afraid not sugarcube we have a score ta settle." I hear alongside some very heavy footsteps.

I jump to the side as Applejack, also known as the Rhino charge past me.

"Oh hello Darling it seems everyone else is already here." Darling is said with more venom than the symbiote itself as the Green Goblin, Rarity Belle, flies in on her gobiln glider. How the fashionista got a hold of the serum is beyond me but she's been a nightmare to deal with ever since.

The final member of the sextet bounds in behind her. The Lizard, or the veterinarian Fluttershy.

"Six of you vs one of me? I don't like those odds. Couldn't you have waited a week when Venom would've been around to help me?" I ask. Truth be told he would help me and then probably turn on me after they're gone or he might walk away... but still six on one ain't exactly the start of a good joke.

Instead of an answer the goblin throws an emerald encrusted pumpkin bomb at my feet.

I jump back only to be hit by a car.

"I'll take that as a no." I say as I hit the ground.

The lizard jumps at me while I'm down pinning me there.

I may have gotten more strength after being bit by the spider but before I got bit I was pretty weak so I'm only slightly stronger than a normal person... I should work out at some point if I survive this...

I hear twi walk towards me using her mechanical limbs.

"Now let's see who you are Spider-Man." She say as she grabs my mask.

"Well this a bunch of piss ain't it?" I say as a flash of red light blinds us all.

I see a woman wearing a similar suit to mine except the color scheme is red and yellow, the colors blending together to look much like the color of a sunset.

"There's two of them?" Twi asks looking at the new spider-person.

"There are now." I say, curiously in sync with the new arrival.

While the six villains are distracted I get myself unpinned by squeezing my way out of the Lizard's grip.

"Thwip thwip bitch!" I yell as I jump up and release a barrage of webs at the Lizard.

The other spider is duking it out with DoC Ock, her motions are fluid and precise. Very quick and light on her feet... unlike me who is neither fluid nor light on my feet.

"Your turn Greenie!" I say as I jump off the Lizard's head, much like an Italian plumber, knocking her out, as I turn in midair releasing a stream of web that hits the back of the Goblin's glider.

Before I can do much else I see Electro rush at me much like a bolt of lightning.

I swing onto the glider barely dodging the crazed party animal turned energy being.

I see Twi get knocked into a wall and tied up by the other spider.

"You deal with Rhino and Vulture I'll deal with Electro and Goblin." I yell as I block and a punch from the aforementioned Goblin.

I see the other spider nod out of the corner of my eye as I wrestle with Rarity over control of the glider we currently share.

"You really think you can defeat us Spider-Man?" She asks as she arms a pumpkin bomb.

"No." I respond as I grapple her and throw her off.

"I know I can." I say as I attach a web to her back and swing her into Electro.

She drops the bomb down into the streets as she gets electrocuted. I see the bomb roll for a ways before it rolls into an open sewer grate.

"Well I hope my favorite teenage mutant ninja friends don't mind getting a bomb for Halloween." I grumble as I watch Electro dissipate into nothingness. She'll return though because that is the order of things.

I see the other spider standing over the unconscious bodies of AJ and Rainbow Dash as I slowly land the glider.

"Obviously we need to talk so meet me on top of that building over there." I say pointing towards a tall building. That way we won't be bothered by citizens.

The other spider just nods and heads that way. I stay for about ten minutes before I hear police sirens headed this way.

"And there's my que to leave." I say as I head to the meeting spot I specified.

"You took your sweet time." She says as I land.

"Hey I needed to make sure the cops showed up before any of them woke up." I say with a shrug.

"So Spider-Man was it? Why does everyone hate you so much?" She asks.

"That is something I don't know the answer too. What's your name?" I reply.

"Spider-Woman." She says.

"Okay. I'm going to guess you're not from this universe judging by the light show that happened before you appeared." I reply.

"Definitely. Because it appears I'm supposed to be dead if what I'm seeing on social media is true." She says.

"I don't usually ask this to other heros but what is you're actual name? You sound familiar and you saying you're supposed to be dead is making me curious." I reply.

"I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours web head." She says crossing her arms.

"Only one person called me web head and unless the universe hates me that much no one else will." I grumble.

"Do you agree or not?" She asks impatiently.

"Yes. Ladies first though." I agree.

"Fine," she pulls off her mask with ease her short hair is blonde but with some red streaks. I know her name before she even says it. "My name is Sunset Shimmer. Your turn web head."

I take off my mask slowly still shocked from the revelation of Sunset, albeit with short hair, my dead girlfriend is standing in front of me.

"I am Drake." I state trying not to fall unconscious.

"I think we both need to breathe for a moment." She says with uncertainty. I then fall unconscious.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, when it's night and the full moon is out...

I wake up on a familiar couch and I have a killer headache. I see my friend Mark sitting by his fireplace. I guess I somehow made it outside the city to his house but how...

"Finally awake, lad?" He asks looking over at me.

Mark is very skinny, much like Waluigi if I'm honest, his hair is long and always looks good no matter what the hell happens to it.

"My head hurts." I grumble.

"At least yer balls aren't itchin' tho right?"

"You're not wrong."

I slowly get myself in a more comfortable position as lying on Mark's couch like a bed isn't exactly what you'd call a good position to stay in.

"So how'd I get here?" I ask.

"Yer not-so-dead girl swung over 'ere carrying ya, of course I started askin' questions and she gave me quite the story." He responds.

"So all of that shit was real..." I say.

"Yep. Now She's out on da roof and if I were ye I'd go speak to 'er and work 'tings out." Mark says as he stands up from his chair.

"I 'ave work in an hour but the two of ye can stay 'ere until ye figure out what yer gonna do" Mark says as he walks upstairs to his bedroom.

I make my way outside and climb to the roof where Sunset sat looking at the moon.

"Finally awake huh?" She asked

"Yep" I reply as I sit down beside her. It's now that I realized I was wearing some of Mark's old clothes, I guess Mark decided my suit needed a wash...

Sunset is wearing some clothes that my Sunset often left here incase we ever decided to stay at Mark's house.

"So how'd you know to come here?" I ask.

"It was a roll of the dice, I was willing to take after in my world before you kicked the bucket you and Mark were friends." She replies not looking at me.

"Also, Mark told me what happened." She says.

She looks at me with sad eyes "I'm sorry. If I'd known what had happened..." I cut her off.

"Don't worry about it. The universe wants to punish me and I'll accept my punishment."

"Well you see in my world you've been dead for about a year now so I've had time to adjust, now granted not enough time but, to you I've only been dead two weeks and I doubt that this situation is helping any." She replies back.

"That's fair. Also Mark said we can stay here to figure things out." I say.

"I know he told me. Don't you want to know what happened to you in my world?" She asks.

"Nope. They're not me so I'm not worried about it... unless they decide that murdering other mes is okay." I answer with a shrug.

"So how am I supposed to get home? Because I came here by accident while fighting a centaur named Tirek, or something like that."

"Well I will need a few weeks to draw up some blueprints, grab some tools from my apartment, and I need to do some thinking as well."

"Well let's worry about this tomorrow I want to enjoy the moon."

I nod in agreement and slowly inch my way closer until we're cuddling together under the light of the full moon...


Author's Note

And that's a wrap. Don't worry I'll continue this plot (in the form of a sequel) later but I'd like to finish my chicken tender project first. I had originally intended for an actual spooky story but then the Spider-Man trailer released and my plans changed obviously. I might still do my spooky story but I may not who knows. Anyway stay safe and good reading.
