General Mishaps

After some time the mob left Spike alone thankfully. By now many small drones floated around the place to quickly repair the damage from the recent battle. It only took about half an hour until the whole large stadium was back in perfect condition. ‘Impressive technology this world has.’ Spike mused as he made his way over to Sora and Shiro who were sitting side by side one another while staring down at their game pads, it seemed they were playing some sort of game with each other and an intense match it was as beads of sweat rolled down both their heads.

“Just remember to not show weakness in front of those two if they sense an opening in your defensives then they will not hesitate to eat you alive.” Nova warned this, which sent a heavy shiver down his spine.

‘What does that mean?’

“Just stop asking too many questions.”

Spike stopped once he was around 10 feet away from the two siblings, not wanting to interrupt the two in fear of being challenged once again. 8 minutes passed when the two let out a gasp of air as they both lowered their gamepads in unison. They both looked heavily drained. “Draw.” They both announced, Spike was unsure if this was directed at him or just them speaking out loud. Then both of them snapped their heads over to Spike. “Can we help you?” It took all of Spike’s self control not to lose his posture.

Before he began his topic he wanted to break the ice first. “Yeah, what game were you playing?”

“Tic-Tac-Toe.”

‘Wha-‘ Spike started in his head but was hushed out by Nova.

“Do not ask questions!”

Right. Spike changed the topic. “So I wanted to say thanks for the assist back there, if not for you than the damaged would have been far greater I’m sure of it.” Sora seemed to break out of this perfect unison they were in and got up from his seat.

“Is that really all you wanted to tell me?” He asked coyly with a hint of playfulness.

Spike gulped. “… Yeah I guess you already know then.” He sighed. “I forfeit the game because I admit to using a outside method to direct my movements.” While Spike didn’t know if he would of won or lost he felt it was best to come out clean, he did this for two reasons. One is that the guilt of using low methods to win was weighting heavily on him and two, he knew they already knew he was cheating from the very start.

Sora clapped his hands together and smiled. “I really don’t know how you expected to pull the rug over Shiro’s eyes. Even if your skills and ability to move in a very organic way could fool the judges in no way could it get past us so easily,”

Spike nodded at this, once he heard of Shiro’s super computer brain and noticed the way she stared at him he knew the jig was up. He bowed his head. “Yeah it wasn’t very well thought out I guess.” He chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. “Sorry.”

There was a small gap of silence between the tree, Spike started to get nervous and felt like he might of lost the trust of the two gamers. But that thought faded away once Sora started laughing. Spike starred up in confusion. “I must admit General you always know how to keep us on our guard. A dance off was one of the last things we’d expect from you. Were it not for Shiro we would of actually lost for once. The silver haired girl got up as well and gave the sweetest smile that Spike had ever seen in his life.

“It was actually…fun to dance with Niii….” She said softly.

“Niii means brother.” Nova Informed.

Sora nodded his head. “In any case I guess that means we won.”

Spike sat down on the chair in defeated manner and smiled grimly. “Yes it does, so what do I have to do?” Since he was the General he had to do whatever they asked since the General was known for his good sportsmanship and humility when it came to defeat, Spike just prayed the task given wouldn’t be beyond his abilities to achieve.

Dramatically both Sora and Shiro rose up their arms and pointed to the sky. “We want you…” Spike felt his chest thump in anticipation. Then they brought their arms down and pointed right at Spike. “…To join our offensive against the Mother Station!”

Spike felt the tension in his chest dissipate and replaced with a heavy sense of confusion. “Huh?”

Sora shrugged. “What, you didn’t expect us to just leave that thing just floating up in space forever did you?”

“Well then why didn’t you just skip the whole dance thing and join me back then?” Spike was almost hysterical at that point; the whole bloody dance thing was just one big waste of time now?

“Well for two reason actually.” Sora announced while holding up to fingers. “You work for us now so we control the game. The other thing is we can never just deny a challenge from you.” While Spike was busy trying to understand this turn of events Nova chimed in her two cents.

“This works to our benefit perfectly.”

‘How so?’

“While I had a plan of attack I am still very limited in my processing abilities but with the two of them in charge we can focus more on battle tactics, let them make up the plan because everything they do is a sure win.” She sounded very excited from this new development.

Spike accepted this and smiled. “You two know how to drive me nuts you know?” Not waiting for a response Spike turned around and headed off. “Tell me your plan later, I’m going to recruit an army to help us out.” Then he was gone for he didn’t want to be around the two for long since he couldn’t shake the feeling of dread he got around them.
‘Alright we somehow managed that whole fiasco, so what’s next?’ Spike wandered through the massive halls and gave wave to all along his path.

“I suggest we go to the Haven Bar. We are more likely to find a powerful warrior in there at this time of the day.”

The path was set for him so he made his way over. ‘So what is the deal with this place anyway?’ He asked to kill time and to finally get some answers about this odd world he found himself in.

“What do you mean?”

‘Well for starters, why is everyone here so…easy going?’

“Easy going?”

‘Well where I come from, if we had a giant planet destroying battle station right above us we would panic and work day and night to find a way to take it down…well everyone here is really casual about it and barely seem to notice, they don’t even know that I saved their lives when I destroyed that space laser.’ It was appalling that people here were still going around playing games, going to bars and watching competitions. Nobody was even making a big deal about the recent attack from the Hive.

“You have no idea how long this war has gone on Spike, people can get used to anything given enough time. Oh, and you didn’t actually save everyone here you know?” Spike stopped walking. “ This shield over us is not just for show you know, when a Void battle station appears over base worlds such as these all power is diverted to the power generators that charge the shields and set them to overdrive. The installations on this worlds could easily survive a low level charge like that.”

‘Low level!?’ This demoralized Spike far more than anyone could know, the danger just kept getting higher and higher.

“Do not look so disappointed Spike, you saved this world’s ecosystem. A large portion of this land would be a boiling sea of glass by know if not for your efforts and a few people who were stuck outside would have been fried and you saved a lot of energy we can focus more now on fending off the current Void opposition.”

This made Spike feel a bit better about his less than stellar achievement but still felt hopeless learning that a world busting attack such as that could be classified as a low leveled attack…what other horrors is this new world hiding from him, he feared to find out.

“So many generations and eons have passed since this battle first began…do you want me to tell you a brief history of our past?”

‘Sure, I guess we have time to kill.’ In actuality Spike was very interested to hear an explanation of such an odd place as this, and to think he and his home world were ignorant to such events.

“Alright, to give you the basic run down, it all started when two incredibly powerful creatures fought for dominance over the other, you could classify them as a Demon and God but that would be far too simple an explanation but just grasp that idea for now. God created all of us while the Demon created his never ending legions of creatures know as the Void, they are vile intelligent creatures that adapt to any situation without stop. Our God used a majority of his power and locked Satan away in a pocket dimension that no one to date had been able to open or find. Our God has loss the ability to protect us so now we have taken matters into our own hands and formed a powerful army consisting of the most dangerous and powerful heroes from across the multiverse. For so many uncountable years we have joined our technology and magic to form a perfect unity so that is what we are, Unity.” She said this with increasing intensity.

Spike just nodded at the life changing information, while he felt like he should doubt such a story he knew that it was more than likely the truth since for the past few months everything he knew of the world was tested to the maximum. Spike had more questions such as, how many other worlds are there, how powerful was this enemy, how powerful is Unity and a exceed of many, many other things.

Of course Spike had to end this train of thought as he came before a giant hall door that had crimson lines painted all over it with a black background. He looked up to see a fancy and bright neon sign that read ‘Haven’ “I guess this is it then.” Spike sucked in some air and puffed up his chest, if he were going in as a powerful warlord then it about time to start acting like it. “Let’s go!” The dragon pushed open both doors with little effort thanks to his power suit. He peered into the dimly lit room full of laughter and idle chatter. But much like a record scratching the noise came to a sudden stop and all eyes were pointed on him.

His eye adjusted to the darkness to see androids and armored figures as well as all sorts of aliens stare at his direction. Spike suddenly realized this plan was terrible since now he put all the focus on him by being the reason a dark room was now full of light. There was a tense silence as the doors behind him nosily closed shut; despite the fear Spike stood his ground with a intense glare back at them

…

…

…

Then they started cheering. Spike should of expected this but he was still caught of guard. “The General returns!” “How goes the wives your lordship?” “Have any adventures to share?” “I love you!” This and other phrases were sent his way.

“Just smile and wave Spike just smile and wave and sit down at the tavern.” He did so and walked in further to an unoccupied seat in the middle of the bar full of many bottles of odd shapes and sizes. The whole place was large as expected and had a small stage that played a live music show from 3-man band of those Pikmin guys. The song was played with futuristic looking instruments that played familiar sounds. In front was a female blue Pikmin that seemed to be just finished with her slow song that Spike missed. She wore a stunningly attractive blood red dress that was cut from the right leg and black boots that reached up to the thighs. Her stem ended in a bright yellow flower with pointed edges. Oddly enough the dress seemed to defy all forms of conventional matter since the bottom area seemed to fade away into a constant red mist like effect.

Spike looked to her in interest but was slightly frightened when she met his gaze with a smile. “To the Lord General himself!” She shouted to the bar and everyone shouted his false name while raising his or her drinks. Spike felt he had to respond to this so he lifted his fist high as he could, this seemed to be the correct move as they chanted once more. “This one is for you!” The stage woman called. The previous band moved out of the way and was replaced with a band of slightly more familiar looking instruments. The band members were of various species.

Before that a android bartender slid a fancy looking piece of glass ware to his seat. He looked to the robotic male and nodded, knowing that it was on the house. The liquid was green and currently on fire but that didn’t faze him since even if it was toxic to normal people he could easily deal with it…assuming it wasn’t some kind of super acid…best not to think about it. Not thinking twice he took a gulp, surprisingly it was similar in flavor to jade stone…in a liquid format. ‘The General has good tastes I’ll give him that.

The music started and Spike instantly recognized the tune as jazz. How interesting he thought.

Who's that man

Who is he

Who is he

Who is he

He is called the devil.

The devil man.

He's Devilman

Some say he's a traitor

They say he's cold as ice

He's the man who sacrificed everything to fight

Devil arrow at the speed of light

Devil ears guide him in the night

Devil wings he's the lord of the skies

Devil beam, a ray of fire

With evil powers close at hand

The devil's in command

He's a hero, so just and fair

He's Devilman

He's Devilman

One day he was touched by the kindness of a man

Hearing of human's love

He began to understand

Devil chop the power of his fist

Devil eyes see clear in the mist

Devil kick breaking every bone

Devil cutter crushing stones

With evil powers close at hand

The devil's in command

He's a hero, so just and fair

He's Devilman

He's Devilman

With evil power's close at hand

The devil is in command

He's a hero, so just and fair

He's Devilman

He's Devilman!

Her voice was similar to that of silk and flowed with the music flawlessly. The band also preformed remarkably although it was oddly not as other worldly as he expected, if fact he felt like this song could have been written by some lyric writer pony back home.

Of course the lyrics made no sense to him, was he this ‘devilman’ was it some title the General had or was it a metaphor, like he was a devil to his enemies. Regardless the song was both catchy and enjoyable so Spike gave out an approving whistle and clapped earnestly.

By the time the song ended everyone was either cheering or clapping so much that the bottles on the stand shook a slight bit. She bowed and walked down the stage into the darkened floor. Another band began to set up and started playing a very atmospheric tune that set well with the dark bar setting.

Spike took another drink of the flaming liquid but almost chocked on it when two arms wrapped around his neck and a light, but still hefty amount of weight was added to his back. Spike was just about ready to defend himself and fight the attacker until he felt the stranger grinding herself on his back in a non threatening manner, the way he knew it was female was due to the semi-high pitched squealing he heard. “Calm Spike, just act natural with this one.” Nova said while not really giving any detail on who or what this was.

Slowly he swallowed the drink while keeping himself level headed. “Can I help you?” The slender arms pulled back as well as the body. Spike kept his cool attitude and continued to look forward as someone who was far smaller than him sat right next to him. ‘I need info now Nova.’ He demanded.

“Oh don’t be so mean Master.” The girl said playfully. Once again Spike tested his ability to keep straight faced, ‘master’?

‘NOVA!’ He could have sworn he heard laughing in the background of his subconscious.

Spike looked down to see what he could describe as a mishmash of creatures balled up into one interesting looking seductress. Red hair, red eyes, slightly tanned skin. Clothing, if it could be called that, was lacking just enough to be tasteful to the average viewer but not so much to be classified as some brothel worker, which was a purple tank top with red rims that ended before the midriff and similar looking tight shorts that met up to the thighs. She had black-stripped stockings that started a littler after where the shorts ended and ruby red closed heeled shoes.

While Spike studied this he noticed the more prevalent features, which would be the red feline like ears and tail and the flapping bat wings that adorned her backside. She also had two white, small hors that jutted out from her forehead. She smiled which revealed a row of sharp teeth that were much like his.

From what Spike understood of this new world and what little data he could gather in the past few hours he understood that this woman was a bombshell knockout for most men. He of course didn’t know how to react to this since he who lived with ponies all his life saw them as attractive but this to the mind seemed to be more his speed…and that was mainly because they were both bipedal…only now did Spike notice he was staring.

He flexed back and chided himself for losing his focus. The girl giggled and pushed her head into his neck. “You ignoring me Master? You’re not usually this rough this early…” It took Spike tons of effort to not let his shiver be visible.

‘What did I get myself into…NOVA!!’

Finally the mischievous A.I. decided to stop tormenting her host and start explaining the odd encounter. “Alight, alright. That is Kizuna Ona. She’s a succubus hybrid who is the General’s 53rd wife.”

‘53rd!? By Celestia how old is the General’ Spike could only guess how old one must be to accumulate up to his 53rd life partner…

“Oh the General is far older than you can guess but that’s not his current wife you see. This is the 53rd wife in the General’s current harem, which to my knowledge counts up to 373 wives last time I checked so it may be a bit higher than that.” The way she said this so casually hurt Spike’s mental stability just a bit. “…Yes he has that many, you expect one guy that great and powerful to just settle for only one concubine?”

‘I don’t know what to expect out of anything anymore Nova.” Only then did the gravity of the situation dawn on Spike. ‘Oh crap this is very bad, if this is a wife then how am I supposed to fool her?’ Spike could trick fans easily and allies took a bit of effort but still he could pull it off, but a person who he was supposed to spend years with and know every bit about her, well it couldn’t be done can it?

“Calm down virgin.” That was both unexpected and uncalled for. “You lucked out on whom we happened to run into, you see this is a succubus, women who feed off the sexual energy of their host so this means this is one of the more spontaneous girls in the General’s harem. Changing your personality and style is just another one of the many things the General does to please his women.”

‘What does that even mean?’

“Simply put, she called you Master yes? Then just act like a rough pet owner to her, my data shows this one is very into rough petplay so act like an ass and be aggressive.” It was like she was trying to goad him on a date and petplay? Spike didn’t know the first thing about women and suddenly he was expected to have mastered the art of love over 350 times!?

‘…Screw it.’ Spike channeled his inner demon and forced together a less than ideal personality on the spot. This was going to be very risky.

In one move Spike turned his seat around smoothly and cupped his left hand under Kizuna’s chin while his right hand softly brushed her short red hair. He peered deep into her eyes, which were intense, but he forced his to be stronger. This on the spot action seemed to prove effective due to the fact that she buckled under and her earlier demeanor was replaced with a more submissive docile one. ‘What the hell am I doing with my life?’ Then he let the words fly out of his mouth without giving them a second thought, this had to look flawless from her viewpoint. “Oh I couldn’t possibly ignore you for long little Kizuna, you’re far too irresistible to leave untouched.” All three beings present were amazed with the perfect execution of that act.

Spike noticed her cattail wave around frantically. She shuddered and gasped out. “Little Kizuna…oh Master you really mean that?” Suddenly having a drop-dead tier woman call the still virgin dragon ‘master’ turned out to be quite intimidating in all reality.

‘Some people would kill to be in my position.’ He had to act again now. He slid both his hands down lower which to him felt like another person’s hands since at the moment he was entirely numb. One hand moved to the neck area while the other one clutched lightly at her exposed midriff. ‘Me? I would kill to get out of it.’

The small 4.11-inch girl gave out a soft moan. “M-master…” She said in a husky tone. He scooted further to increase his grip on the entranced girl.

“Of course, to me you are one of the many flawless gems in my collection, irreplaceable and delicious to the eye.” Hopefully mentioning the other insane amount of women wasn’t a deal breaker. Before he could make up more garbage on the spot he felt another pair of arms wrap around his head. ‘Oh what now?’ He turned to see what could be said as an exact copy of the girl to his side only with light green hair and hair that went down to her shoulders. Ideas popped into his head on who this was until they came to a horrifying conclusion. ‘Oh no.’

“This is Kizuna’s twin sister Suzina...the General has married both of them.”

How sly is this impossible General?

“Be warned that Suzina is a bit more abrasive about what she wants so you need to meet her expectation full force, so good luck with that.” And then she was gone again.

True to her description he could see the much more intrusive gaze this one was giving her while the other twin was much more bubbly and meek. Well time to go further than this it seems.

“Ah Suzina, don’t think I could forget about you." He reached out both arms and pulled both girls into his arms. He could feel Kizuna start to ‘purr?’ While Suzina pushed her body in further to him. Thankfully he was still pretty numb so his actions didn’t faze him physically.

“Ah, Master you always know how to please.” The green twin spoke in a more hushed tone. Then she got out from his grip and started beckoning him to follow. “Come master, I’m sure you’ve waited long enough so let us both go somewhere a bit more private than this.

‘Huh?’

“Congratulations you sealed the deal you legend.” More of the taunting it would seem but more importantly the situation at hand. Spike followed the girl while the other twin followed behind him; he went along for now since he didn’t know the consequences of the General turning down such an invite but he was already formulating a hundred different ways to get out of this.

‘I’m thinking we politely inform them I have a meeting with Sora and Shiro and have no time to waste.’ Spike offered before he executed the plan.

“Well why were you at a bar then?” Nova already cracked that idea in half. “Also we are not getting out of this you know?”

‘Oh yeah and just go with it?’ Spike thought hysterically. ‘They don’t know who I am Nova, this is pretty much illegal.’

“Oh don’t be a bitch Spike, these two are succubus, they could not care less where they got their juice from” The distressed dragon was starting to wonder if his guest in his head was some kind of pervert.

‘I’m not doing it!’

“Oh I get it, you are scared right? Well do not fret, even if you squirm a bit they will just find it as a new position your testing out, just go with the flow on this one.” She could feel Spike about to protest further. “Oh and I hijacked your legs so we’re not running from this.”

‘…What?’

And like that Spike’s fate was sealed.
