A Real Shocker!

Chapter 5: The Phoenix

(Thoughts)
"Attack Names"

Scratching the Bandages on my chest, I listen as the Doctor drones on and on about how my physiology is completely and utterly impossible. Apparently, telling the Doctor about my ability to turn into lightning was a dumb idea. After about 10 hours of testing and experimenting, He couldn't find out how I do what I do. I don't want to tell them about the fact that I can carry buildings with one hand or the fact that I came from another universe, otherwise I'll be stuck here for an even longer amount of time.

It's been about a month now, and this extended stay at the hospital is finally over. Instead of letting me out early, the Princesses gave the Doctors orders to hold me here until my bones were fully healed. Now that I'm fully healed, I should be able to go home at any time, after hearing those words, I begin making my way home. Pulling out my phone, I look at the time. 4:20. (Blaze it boi, Now... How do I redeem my reward?) Opening up my text messages, I see that I have a new text.

"To all those who survived, Congratulations! You are one of the few who is still standing! Out of 200 Participants, only 4 remain. To you, the survivor who was strong enough to live, I give you an update! The item you'll receive is not but a call away. Just call the number below and say what you'd like to have and it'll be sent directly to you via a portal. Next year, we'll shoot for an even higher number of surviving participants! Love, Jack." (O-Out of 200 only 4 of us survived!? What the fuck is this sicko's deal!? That's 196 people dead at his hands and he's playing it off like it was nothing!)

Numbly, I open my front door and slam it closed as I fall back on it. I already know that I shouldn't get something that makes me more powerful, I should get something that makes me more skilled. Thinking about it, I decided that I should get Rob Lucci's Film Gold Outfit. Making my way back to my room, I dial the number and ask for the suit.

Immediately, a portal opens in front of me, dropping a white gift box at my feet. I figure, If it doesn't give me his skills, at least I'll have a kick-ass suit, and if it does give me his skills, I'll have Rokushiki at my disposal. With "Geppo" I'll be able to "fly", and if, for some reason, I can't use my other power or sword skills, I'll have a great way to fight back. It's a win-win scenario either way.

Taking out the suit, I put it on. Suddenly, knowledge of years and years of hard training and dedication make its way to the forefront of my mind. "Geppo" to "Rokuogan, I know the ins and outs of every technique available to the members of Cipher Pol 0. (I guess it worked. Cool! I've always wanted to know how to use Rokushiki!)

I take the suit off and set it back in the box. Setting the box in my closet, I walk back out into my living room in my underwear. Making my way into the kitchen, I open the fridge and pull out some juice and start drinking it out of the jug. Suddenly there's a knock at the front door. I reach out with my Haki, as I lazily make my way to the offending area. Looks like Spike wants to hang out.

Opening the door, I see Spike standing on my welcome mat, he looks nervous. Turning his gaze from me, he looks behind himself, where, in a pair of bushes, I can see Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are throwing thumbs up at him... What the fuck is going on, and why do I feel like I'm gonna regret not wearing clothes. "Sup, little dude?" I ask the nervous wreck of a teen.

"Iwaswonderingifyoucouldteachmehowtofight!" He quickly says.

"I didn't really catch that. Can you repeat that once more, just a little bit slower this time?"

Taking a deep breath in, he then exhales and asks, "Can you please teach me how to fight? I'm tired of not being able to help my friends. You can fight monsters by yourself, and Twilight and the girls always go off on adventures while I'm left at home. I want to be able to help them, and you. Please teach me how to fight, I'm begging you." As he finishes, he falls down on his knees, and prostrates himself before me, as if I was a king before a peasant or something.

"When do you want to start?" I ask, fully ready to teach the kid right then and there. I should probably think twice before teaching a small teen assassination techniques, but I'm kind of bored, seeing as how I missed most of the Season One episodes thanks to my hospital stay. This'll be interesting, to say the least.

"R-Really! You mean it! Let's get started right away!" He says, pulling me out of my house.

"Okay, Spike. First of all, calm the fuck down. I'm still in my undies if you didn't notice. And Secondly, I still have to decide on what to teach you. Come back here tomorrow and I'll have something ready for you. If that's all, I have to go ask Pinkie to tear up those pictures she's been taking of me for the past 10 minutes." I walk past the kid, over to the bush where camera flashes can be seen.

"I'll give you a percentage of the sales." I hear from Pinkie... Fine by me. I nod and make my way back to my house, where I go back to doing what I was planning on doing. Nothing.
