[1 hour later] Sombra's Bar - (Red)

Red: "When I woke up, I found myself tied to a chair with Sombra looking at me."

Spike: "Hehe, what? Was the asshole trying to get you into some kinky shit?"

Red: "Shut up jackass."

Spike: "Pff, have a sense of humor ya whiny bitch..."

Red: "Want me to leave and tell that hard-ass cop bitch she can cut your nuts off?"

Spike: (frantic) "No...No...No...proceed..."

Red: "Yeah...that's what I thought..."

Red looked around and saw that his arms and legs were tied to a wooden chair and he was in some kind of big office. He looked forward and saw The Don of the Sombra Crime Family, "King" Sombra, standing right in front of him with his arms crossed over his chest, right next to him was his right hand: Radiant Hope.

The gray unicorn wore a black two-piece suit with a gray dress shirt and a red tie, along with clean black leather dress shoes, Hope wore a long black strapless silk dress with black high heels, around her shoulder was a gun holster with a Glock inside.

Red saw her arm was wrapped around the gray unicorn's as his red devilish eyes stared into Red's yellow eyes as he showed him his shiny, sharp, white teeth when he smiled victoriously. “Weeeell...look who finally decided to wake up...”

Red furrowed his eyebrows at him. "Let me guess...you're the 'smart guy' that hired that dumbass Griffin, who not only got beaten up by a kid...but also lost 100k..."

Hope let go of Sombra's arm and stood with her arms behind her back as Sombra slowly walked around Red, like a hawk stalking its prey. “Don’t forget that I now have 'said kid' tied up to a chair in my office...now I want you to answer this simple question....” He stopped in front of Red as he dropped his smirk, turning his face into an angry one. “Where’s my fucking money?!”

The red pegasus shrugged. "Already spent it on hospital bills and paying back debts...the rest we gave to charity, keeping just enough to last a year in hiding."

Sombra growled before stopping himself and calming down a bit. “Okay look...I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about me right?"

He walked over to his desk and sat down, Hope staying by his side, her hand on his shoulder. "Because I know enough about you...Redsopine Prism Dash...and your sister Rainbow Ashleigh Dash...Your parents died in a car accident 4 months prior when an out of control car hit into theirs and they both got stabbed and disemboweled by pipes at a construction site, yadda yadda yadda...I can give two shits."

As he talked, Red was untying himself in secret, his hands remained behind his back as Sombra smirked evilly. "Now...Do you know who I am?"

Red stood up from the chair as he smirked himself. "Lord Blueballs: King of the Dumbasses that don't understand the first concept of knots or tying someone up..." Sombra and Hope's eyes both widened as the 13-year-old pegasus put his hands on the desk calmly. "Now look...you can either kill me or hire me to work off the money you lost because right now...I've outsmarted your hitmen 2 times in under one day and that was including having a broken and infected wrist."

Sombra growled and picked up Red by his shirt and slammed him onto the desk which gave him a bloody nose, The mob boss then went to the other side of the desk and held the kid's body down as he leaned in so he can talk into his face with intense anger.

Hope backed up a bit watching the scene as Sombra spoke. “Listen here you smartass little piece of fucking shit!!! I can have you killed before you even fucking blink so watch your fucking mouth before I blow your brains all over the fucking wall!!!!!”

Red breathed slowly before he felt his teeth start to slowly sharpen, he gave a wide smile at Sombra. "Or I can do this instead...." Red then began to laugh insanely as he suddenly latches onto Sombra's shoulder with his new sharp teeth digging into it so hard that blood began to leak from his mouth.

Sombra exclaimed a bit in pain, letting Red go and quickly grabbing his wounded shoulder, his blood leaking onto his hand and his black suit. Hope screamed a bit, She quickly took out her Glock 19 from her holster and pointed it at Red, she then quickly went over to Sombra's side to check on the bite wound, while still pointing the weapon at Red.

Some of Sombra's men heard the scream and 3 guys quickly rushed in, looking at their injured boss with his right-hand mare at his side, trying to bandage his wound.

The three guys looked at Red and put two and two together, all 3 of them cracked their knuckles. The 13-year-old looked at his hand and gave a small smirk as he spoke to himself. "Let's see what this 'Akuma' can do..."

One mobster grabbed Red by his shirt and prepared to punch him but The red pegasus grabbed his fist like it ain't shit. "Let's see what happens when I do this..." Red then began to squeeze the mobster's fist, at first it didn't do anything and the goon just laughed but a few seconds later, they all began to hear a couple of small sick cracks and the laughs quickly turned into screams of pure hellish pain.

Red was crushing the bones in the goon's hand with his strength the Akuma blood was giving him. To the mafia member, it felt like his hand and bones were getting crushed by a giant car crusher. He let go of Red and in return, he let go of his hand. It was covered in blood and his fingers were bent in ways fingers weren't meant to be bent, they could even see some bones sticking out.

The other two growled and both pulled out their Colt 1911's and aimed them at Red, who just looked at them nonchalantly. "You guys want to shoot a kid?"
He then looked back at Sombra, who's shoulder was now wrapped with a bandage courtesy of Hope. "See, I told you they were idiots...they should have immediately restrained me the second I put my hands on the table...now they seem to be trying to beat to death someone you could use...someone that could have easily killed you just now..."

Sombra groaned a bit as he held up his uninjured arm. "Hang on boys...lower your weapons...” The goons looked at their boss with the corner of their eyes and listened, Sombra slowly walked over to Red, Hope stayed next to him to make sure he's alright. "How about I throw your sister into the mix?"

Sombra pointed to himself. “You work with me to pay back all the money you stole from me...if you don’t do what I tell you or you let me down...Your sister will die a slow and painful death right in front of you before you suffer the same fate...what do you say?”

Red smirked and said just six words that made Sombra, Hope, and the 3 goons give him scared and shocked faces.

[Present] MPSG Station - Interrogation Room 1 (Spike)

Spike, Rainbow, and Applejack all raised their eyebrows at Red with the sudden pause. The red stallion just sighed. "Seriously is no one going to ask what I said to him, that's kept him from going after Dash unless she started a fight on his turf?"

“What did you say to him?” Spike asked.

"Why do you think you're alive?" Red replied.

Spike thought he was asking him. "Because the guards arrested me after you flipped your shit for no goddamn reason...”

Red sighed. "Okay, are you sure he's not one of Sombra's goons? He's as dense as they are..."

Spike sarcastically laughed. “Ha. Ha. Very funny you psychotic pegasus prick...”

Red looked at Rainbow and Applejack, his finger pointing at Spike. "Can someone explain to cold lava brains over here that I was not talking about our fight just now?"

Applejack sighed looking at Spike as she uncrossed her arms. "Spike...'Why do ya think yer alive?' is wut Red told Sombra."

Red gave her a thumbs up. "Spot on Apple Cheeks, now you must be wondering why I said these exact words...but think back to what was happening when I bit him, where I was..."

Spike was growing a bit impatient. "What the hell is this, 5th Grade English Class? Just tell us why and stop wasting our time!"

Red decided to humor him. "He had me close to his face, I could have easily torn his throat out."

“And why didn’t you?” asked Spike, earning a small facepalm and a sigh from Red.

The pegasus looked at Rainbow, pointing his finger at the drake again. "Seriously Dashie, what do you see in him? He's not good at paying attention to what he's being told..."

Rainbow shook her head and sighed, putting her hand on his shoulder. “Red he’s a great guy and I love him...just tell him why didn’t you kill him so we can avoid another fight...”

"I already told all three of you why I said those six words...their meaning changed both mine and your lives...I mean I said that's what kept him from going after Dash unless shes instigates a fight on his turf."

Spike sighed. “So let me get this straight... Sombra threatened you with the death of my Rainbow Dash and in response, you threaten him back even though you were 13 years old? I don’t know how I should feel...Impressed on the amount of balls you have...or Marvel at your stupidity...

Red smiled sheepishly. "Both...but since then there's been only one rule between us...he leaves Dash alone unless she's barring fights on his territory, he gets to live. Everything after that is just me working off his debts as a hitman and assassin...I mean Dash must have wondered why her old apartment evicted her due to new management it's in Sombra's territory and keeping to the deal...they had you leave unharmed."

"Huh...so that's why the manager gave me a refund on the money I gave him for the last rent and told me to take a hike..." Rainbow said to herself as Red continued.

"And a threat's only words...I showed him just how easy I could have killed him. The smartest person beside me in that room at the time was his right-hand-mare. The second my hands were freed, she tensed ready to act the moment I bit him...she drew her gun before checking to make sure he wouldn't bleed out from the bite."

“You’re insane...” Spike said before Dash had a question.

“Wait...who’s Sombra’s right-hand mare?”

"Radiant Hope is her name..." Red replied to his sis. "Known to her squad as 'Mama Hope' since she trains her men how not to be idiots, the worst injury her men get is bruising from the gun kickbacks."

“So is that the end on how you got to Sombra’s? You bit his shoulder and instead of killing you, Sombra decides to take you under his wing and work as an assassin for 13 years?”

"Yeah, pretty much...I mean I did what no one came close to for a long time...showing him how easy he can be to kill. Hell, why do you think he's only seen with Hope around him? She's the only one he trusts as a guard that thinks and as such...she trains the men to be smarter in a fight instead of rushing in guns blazing hoping to hit a target.

Red then rubbed the back of his head. "Oh..l also wanted to say sorry about Lyra and Bon Bon, they went rogue after being told to leave you alone. Those two stallions who were chasing Rainbow and AJ were gonna be marked for death the second they went after Dash without a cause...since they were given permission to cross through the area and you were used as the fastest means for escape but that changed when their car blew the fuck up...I mean they were gonna die anyway."

Spike sighed. “Yeah yeah...Lyra and Bon Bon wanted to kill me for helping AJ and RD escape from Sombra’s goons...they got what was coming to them...”

Red shrugged his shoulders and swatted his hand down. "Yeah yeah, it's fine...they've gone rogue when they failed to assassinate you...quite frankly I didn't like them anyway..."

AND that's how Red and Dash got involved with the mafia and why they ended up on opposite sides.
