Domestic Disturbance

“Come on Diamond, you said you wanted to get to school today. Lets go!” Bellz yelled from the lobby of the station at 7:45 in the morning. Derpy and Diamond have yet to come downstairs. Derpy volunteered to take Diamond to school since Kido needed to write some reports about Discord's imminent release the next day.

“Derpy is taking too long!” Diamond yelled.

“Muffins are meant to be savored.” Derpy said.

“Come on!” Diamond said clearly frustrated.

“Fine!” Derpy responded.

The sounds of their hooves coming down the stairs to leave were heard, Kido stood and headed for the door to wish Diamond a good day. Bellz opened the door.

“You guys should hurry up, it's already ten to eight.” A voice was heard from outside the station. It sounded like it came from an educated type.

Bellz and Kido looked out the door to see the origin of the voice. Bellz's ears fell and her eyes grew wide in surprise and fear, even though she was expecting her. But it was worse than that. Bellz knew she was pissed despite her casual tone and smile. Her former sister had her arms crossed across her chest and only her left eye brow lifted. It was a peculiar expression but Bellz knew it all too well.

Kido couldn't help but to take a thorough look at the Bat Witch that just arrived. Outside some ponies slowed down to look, others outright ran. She was as tall as he was, perhaps more by an inch or two. Her eyes were red and big. Short fur, very light gray colored, almost white. Had very neatly kept black hair. A beauty indeed. But disturbingly enough, she wore black leather clothing. From boots, gloves, pants and jacket. Most probably from unfortunate prey. Kido could see why this bat reminded Bellz of him. Between her eyes and hair, and the way she looks at you, completely analyzing those in front of her. He could also sense her anger but she kept it well  hidden, remaining cool and collected. Even though he knew this was a new enemy he couldn't help but smile at her, as if she was a welcomed guest. She smiled back at him.

“Zaza...” Bellz swallowed nervously. “What do you want?”

Zaza looked to her sister smiling mockingly. “Don't be scared Bellzy. I just wanted to see if my dear old sis was okay? Perhaps she was arrested? Perhaps she was hurt? Perhaps she ran away? Perhaps she was turned to stone? Perhaps she was even killed?... But oh no never expected this.”

At that moment Diamond and Derpy came down the stairs and saw the new arrival. The were stunned.

“She adopted a new family. Two ponies and a most... delicious specimen of a Lupine. Small and lightly built... but I sense he more than makes up for it in other areas.” She bit the air in front of her looking at Kido, snapping her fangs, which were thrice as large as Bellz. Kido wondered how they fit so neatly in her mouth.

“Wolfdaddy... What's going on?” Diamond asked not taking her eyes off Zaza.

“A guest my dear. Just a guest.” He smiled casually. Zaza smiled back.

In less than a second Zaza made a move but it couldn't be seen by a regular eye. What Bellz, Derpy and Diamond saw next was Kido standing with a fist raised as if he just punched someone. Zaza on the floor rubbing her nose as it healed instantly.

“Impressive... Someone who can actually keep up.” She got up. Nose fully healed. Kido noticed this and felt excited. He was only able to catch the movement by less than a second.

“A fine strategy trying to go through my right side.” He relaxed and lowered his hands.

“You're immune to magic.”

Kido's friends all looked shocked as Zaza casually stated one of their leaders greatest strengths.

“A fine deduction. May I ask how you came upon it?” Kido smiled in admiration at the Bat's intelligence.

“You may. But I have a feeling you already know.” Zaza paused. “You do, don't you?”

Kido stepped outside the station. Walking casually, looking at Zaza, paying attention to her every move. Bellz and the others slowly exited as well, standing by the door.

“My friends. If you wish to leave you may.” Kido said still looking at Zaza.

“I'm not going anywhere!” Diamond said. Bellz and Derpy nodded.

“Very well. I just wish for nopony else to get hurt.”

“I have a proposal to amend that.” Zaza interrupted.

“You have my attention miss.” Kido lifted a hand, welcoming the offer.

“You and me. Hand to hand. Last one standing. Nobody else involved. No collateral damage.”

“You want to Box?” Kido raised an eyebrow.

“I want to fight you. Fairly...”

“Boss that's bullshit. Her magic is part of her...” Bellz tried to interrupt but Kido raised a hand to silence her.

“I know my dear. She uses lighting spells. But for some odd reason she can never set them off.” Kido explained.

“Very good. Go on.” Zaza smiled.

“When you tried to make a move on my friends inside the station you moved with extreme speed. I managed to catch you and felt a vibration in my hand. You somehow completely merged with the lighting. If I were not immune I would've been bacon. With fire and ice spells, I still feel the heat or cold. But lighting...” He giggled. “It just tickles.”

“Boss she's smart. She's leading you right where she wants you.” Bellz tried to warn her friend.

“That may be. But I agree.” Kido said still smiling. “You and me?”

“Of course.” Zaza nodded. “Shall we.” She started to remove her jacket, revealing she wears a black tank top. Kido began to see a pattern.

Kido began to do the same and walked towards his friends, removing the cloth from his eye, his gloves, knife belt, shirt and boots.

“Daddy. You sure about this?” Diamond asked concerned.

“You don't think I can do it?” Kido knelt to her level.

“I know you can.” Diamond chose to be strong and trusted him.

“THEN LETS DO THIS!!!” Kido startled his friends and began to bounce in place like a boxer in front of Zaza.

Zaza got into a southpaw boxing stance. Kido struck with a one two combo. Zaza moved too fast dodging the punches and then striking his stomach. She then kicked him. Sending Kido flying a few feet back.

“Okay this may be a little harder than I thought.”
