MAFIA: Manticore Prime City
6: The First Job [Edited]
Previous ChapterNext Chapteris and "Really? You want to take a hand in this kind of work, Spike?" asked Celestia, with a raised eyebrow.
"Well...I just want to live, and I can't live if I have a mob boss after me...It can't be that tough." Spike replied, putting his hands behind his back.
"Young Spike, the work we do here is no joke," Luna replied. "We rob, sabotage, kill, and maim creatures, are you sure you're conscience can handle this line of work?"
"To be honest, ma'am...I've never really been interested in other creature's lives," Spike admitted. "All the lives I care about are mine, my sister's and close friends, everyone else can pretty much just piss off. Sure If I kill someone I might feel a little sick but it will go away very quickly." Celestia and Luna leaned back in their chairs as Spike continued.
"I've never killed anyone before so I wouldn't know how I would feel...but with this line of work...I might just do if I get the right amount of dough. My sis and I are kind of completely broke as it is. So, I want to join, not because I want your help in protecting me or the fact that I hate you criminal scum with every fiber of my being...I'm joining your gang so that I can live another day."
"Kind of harsh...but fair..." Celestia replied, she then looked at her sister and the lunar princess gave a nod. "You know what, Spike, we decided to give you a shot, we always like new faces in our organization."
Spike smiled and nodded as Celestia looked at AJ. "Applejack, I want you to pick out a suit for Spike and give it to him.
"Already have, ma'am." Applejack replied, going over to Celestia's wardrobe and took out a suit for Spike. "I figured Spike would join us sooner or later so I already picked out a suit that's his size."
Applejack took the suit out of the closet and the purple dragon saw that it was a normal 3 button black suit with a blue tie and a light gray button-up dress shirt, he also saw that AJ was carrying black loafers too.
The orange mare walked over to Spike and handed the suit to him along with a duffle bag. "You can get changed in the bathroom, put your clothes in this bag."
After Spike got dressed in his new suit, he went back into The Sisters' office and they began to inform him of what he needed to know. "OK Spike, here's the deal, You already know Applejack and Rainbow Dash. This here is Twilight Sparkle." Celestia pointed to the purple alicorn behind her. "She's my right hand-mare."
"And this is mine," Luna said, pointing to the bat pony stallion behind her. "This is Black Shadow. He's a wonderful bat stallion...both he and Twilight look after the legal business of our organization."
"The two ponies behind the bar are Carrot Cake and Cup Cake. This business can be a little too tough to swallow, but those two love ponies are wonderful cooks. We also have Shining Armor and Flash Sentry."
"We are one big happy family here, Spike." Celestia finished.
Twilight spoke this time. "We also got some rules around here...Don't ever cross paths with the Solar Guards. They're on our payroll."
"Yes..." Celestia added. "But if you go too far, they will come after you, bits, or no bits."
"God forbid, if you get arrested, say nothing and we'll take care of you," Luna added, crossing her arms over her chest with a small smile. "Tia and I always take care of our friends, we have a lot of great friends....but there are not many left who betrayed us. We clear?"
Spike nodded. "Crystal."
Luna leaned forward. "Now...Spike....we think that you need to do something to prove yourself if you want to be with us."
"Yeah, you said that some ponies attacked you at a coffee shop because of your car, right?" Celestia asked, earning a nod from Spike. "Well...why don't you smash up their cars so they won't be going anywhere anytime soon."
"Alright seems easy enough," Spike replied. "Anyone going with me?"
"Yes." Celestia looked at Applejack. "AJ, you wouldn't mind going with him would you, to make sure he does this?"
"Of course, ma'am. I'd be glad to help him out." AJ replied, patting Spike on the back. "Come on, kid. Let's go get some weapons."
Spike and Applejack walked out of the room and once they were out of ear-shot, Shadow spoke up. "Uh, bosses, I don't think we should trust him so much...I mean he joined up cuz he had no other choice."
"Don't worry, my dear Shadow," Luna replied. "I have a good feeling about him..."
"But right now, we have something else to worry about..." Celestia said, getting up and looking out the window with her hands behind her back. "Does Sombra...really want to start a war?"
Applejack led Spike outside through the restaurant's back door and they began to walk up some metal stairs to go into the door that's on the top. "Where're we going?" Spike asked.
"We're gonna visit, somepony, who's been in the family for some time. He has a real hard-on for weapons." Applejack snickered a little, leading Spike into the room.
Walking inside, the purple dragon was mesmerized, the room was a small office type. He saw lots of guns hanging on the walls, ranging from pistols to machine guns and from shotguns to assault rifles. Looking at this, he can tell that this gang was ready for anything involving firearms.
He looked down from the walls and saw a white unicorn stallion with a blue mane with some dark blue streaks and cyan colored eyes sitting down in a wooden chair and messing around with a Colt 1911. He wore a black dress shirt, red necktie, gray suit pants, and brown loafers.
He finally snapped out from his daze when Applejack spoke. "Hey, Shinin'."
Shining looked up and smiled, placing the gun on his desk. "Hey, Jack."
Applejack looked at Spike and held her hand out towards the unicorn. "Spike, this is Shinin' Armor, Twilight's older brother." She then looked back at the stallion. "And Shinin', this is Spike, he just started up with us."
Both Spike and Shining Armor shook hands as AJ continued. "Shinin' here is our weapons expert in the family and can give ya anything ya need, from revolvers to assault rifles, like those things on the wall behind him."
Shining nodded. "Yep, make sure you visit me once you get a job from the Dons, the jobs they give will most likely involve weapons. And speaking of weapons, Jack, what do ya need?"
"Spike needs to smash up a few cars, Armor, you got anything for that?" Applejack asked.
Shining scoffed. "Of course I do." He reached under his desk and took out a silver aluminum bat. "This bat should be enough."
Spike grabbed the bat from the desk and got a look at it as Shining continued. "But if you want more than that..." He walked behind himself and picked up a small crate, putting it on the desk too.
He removed the lid and took out a bottle of alcohol that had a white rag inside of it and coming out of the spout. "I mixed a few alcohol ciders to make 5 of these extremely flammable Molotovs Cocktails, just light up the rag and throw it fast, you don't want your hand to burn." He placed the bottle back in the crate and closed it, giving it to Applejack.
"Good luck, guys." Shining told them.
"Thanks, Shining," Spike replied, opening and holding the door for AJ who carefully held the Molotov crate with two hands.
The orange mare and the purple dragon walked to the garage that they passed to get the weapons.
"Now, we're gonna meet Flash, he can be a bit of an idiot but he knows a lot about cars." Applejack told Spike.
Spike looked and saw a pegasus stallion with a brilliant gamboge coat and a two-tone sapphire blue spikey mane working on a car. He wore a gray greasy jumpsuit and black work boots.
Applejack called out. "Hey, Flash!"
Flash looked from the open hood on the car he was fixing and saw AJ along with a purple dragon he's never seen before, he placed his wrench on the ground as the pony and dragon stopped in front of him. "Hey there, Jackie, how's the shoulder?"
"It's doin' alright." She motioned her head to Spike. "Flash Sentry, this is Spike Dragan, he just started up with us."
Spike shook Flash's hand, which was covered with vehicle oil. After noticing, Spike wiped his hand on Flash's jumpsuit, the pegasus didn't mind that in the slightest.
"So Spike, you ever get a stolen car? Just bring it back to me, I can either give you money for it or change the license plate and make it yours, no pony would notice the difference." Flash told the dragon, making him nod, acknowledging it.
"Speaking of cars, Flash, we need one," Spike told the stallion.
"Ah, gotcha, man." Flash led the two ponies out of the garage to a Silver Microcar. "I just got this car this morning...it ain't no hot rod and it can be pretty slow as shit...but it'll do."
He walked over to the driver seat and looked at Spike. "Now, Spike, I want you to watch me pick this lock, so in case you lose this, you can jack another one easily." The purple dragon leaned in and watched Flash pick the lock on the car. "All you have to do is take his little piece here and join it together with this other piece on the lock....and click, you're in."
"Wow, thanks to Flash," Spike replied, earning a pat on the shoulder from the pegasus.
"Anytime, dude."
Spike and Applejack got into the Micro and they made their way to Sombra's bar.
