MAFIA: Manticore Prime City
7: Welcome to the Family
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApplejack drove the silver Microcar, Flash gave her and Spike, who sat in the passenger seat. AJ looked at Spike who was looking at the bat in his hands, knowing full well what he was getting himself into.
The orange earth pony spoke to the dragon. "So, kid. Are ya sure you can deal with this? Ah, mean...this is relatively tame compared to the other jobs the Dons sign me and Rainbow with."
Spike nodded. "Yeah...I mean, as I said before, I've never been interested in other creatures' lives besides my own or my sis."
AJ nodded and took a left turn through town. "So...is that all?"
"No...I also need serious money...that annoying cab job isn't gonna do anything for me. Also, since Sombra's goons are after me this life would be way better than looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life."
"Alright, kid, whatever ya say."
[30 minutes later] Outside Sombra's Bar
Applejack pulled up beside the parking lot that held the cars Spike had to smash up for initiation. AJ looked around then looked at Spike. "OK, kid. This is it. There's a guard right there so just take him out before you smash up anythin'."
Spike nodded, opening the passenger door to get out before AJ grabbed his shoulder. "Use the bat first, then use the Molotovs last, as soon as that's done get back here and Ah can drive us outta here, good luck, Spy."
The purple dragon got out of the car along with the bat under his armpit and the Molotov crate in his hands. He slowly walked with them to the back entrance of the parking lot to keep the guard from finding him. He placed the bottles down near the entrance and readied the bat. He walked over to the stallion who was a yellow earth pony just smoking a cigarette and looking around.
Spike slowly walked up to him and readied the bat, about to hit him. "Hey, dude."
The guard looked at Spike and was met with a hard and bone-cracking smack to the face with the aluminum bat. The guard fell to the ground pretty much dead, but Spike made sure he was when he smacked his body with the bat over and over, making blood splatter on the ground and the bat.
And there it was, Spike's stomach turned a bit after seeing the pony's blood pour out of his body and onto the pavement. "I...I...I a-actually....k-killed him..."
But after thinking about it, this guy's gang wants to kill him, and he bet if he didn't swing the bat, the pony could've gotten a good look at his face and send more goons to kill him. So after thinking about the alternative outcome, Spike's turned stomach feeling faded and was back to normal. He guessed that since this is Sombra's guys he shouldn't feel sorry for them.
Spike walked away from the body for a second and noticed a side-door to the bar since there were mob cars here, it wasn't difficult to figure out that some members might be in the bar. So after looking around, he noticed an old chair nearby, he walked over to get it and carefully placed the chair under the knob as quietly as he could. After successfully barricading the door, he went back to the dead stallion to figure out what to do with him. He noticed a kind of out of place small wooden garage shed and figured out what to do.
He looked left and right to see if anybody was looking in his direction. Seeing the coast was clear, he grabbed the dead stallion's left leg and dragged the body deeper into the closed parking lot, leaving a slight trail of crimson red blood slide with him on the ground. He dragged the body into the empty garage shed and placed him in there, but before he could leave the body, he sees some kind of weird shape pressing in its coat pocket. He went down on one knee and dug into the dead stallion's coat pocket and what he pulled out almost made him jump. He was packing a revolver, a silver Colt Python with a wooden grip to be exact. He opened the 6-round chamber and saw that it was fully loaded.
As much as he wants to leave it, it could give him some sort of defense if he comes across any other mob goons. He sighed and slipped the Colt into the inside pocket of his suit coat and got up, leaving the body in the wooden garage shed. He closed the shed slowly so nopony could hear him.
After turning around he finally got a look at the cars he had to smash: A green Bolt V8, A blue Studebaker Dictator, and a car that Spike was surprised to see, A red Bolt-Thrower. Which meant that Lyra and Bon Bon were here as well.
The purple dragon looked at the cars with a determined look on his face and he readied his bat, that was shining with the stallion's red blood in the sunlight.
He looked at the door that he blocked with the chair one more time and now he was ready.
[Meanwhile] Inside Sombra's Bar
"-and then the prick hucked a fucking muffin at me..." Lyra finished, she was talking to 2 mares and a black griffin about what happened with trying to clip Spike while drinking at the bar stand. Bon Bon was standing next to Lyra, her face covered in tiny bubbles due to the steaming hot coffee that got thrown at her face.
"So you didn't manage to kill him?" asked the griffin, holding a glass of whiskey.
"No...fuckin' lizard got away with a crowd of ponies," Lyra replied looking away angrily.
"Why didn't you waste them all?" asked a yellow earth pony.
"We were only told to kill one being, we don't want any innocent lives to get involved, no matter how merciless our boss is." Lyra drank the last of the wine that was in her glass and she gave out a sigh. "Speaking of which, I'm sure the Don's gonna give me and Bon Bon a raise at this point..."
Bon Bon patted her marefriend's shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm sure we can get him..."
After the creamy earth pony said that, the ponies heard loud banging and crashes coming from the parking lot outside. They all placed their glasses on the bar counter and walked to the door to see what was going on, but when Lyra turned the doorknob, the door wouldn't open.
"What the hell?" asked Lyra, she then tried to push her body into the door with a few grunts, but the door stayed shut. "Hey, someone barred the door!"
"Someone must be doing something to our cars..." said one of the mares, who was a yellow earth pony. She took out her Beretta Custom from her belt holster and pulled the slide back, making it click. "Let's get out through the front."
Lyra kept pushing the door with her body. "Me and Bon Bon will try to get the door open, the rest of you go see what's going on."
"Yes ma'am." They all said.
The griffin took out an IMI Uzi 9mm from his jacket and the red unicorn mare took out a Vz.61 Skorpion from her handbag and followed the yellow earth pony out the front door.
"Bon Bon, get our guns!" The minty unicorn told her lover.
Spike smashed all 3 of the cars very violently, breaking windows, windshields, doors, even the engines. No way these cars are moving ever again. As soon as Spike finished with the bat, he ran over to the crates of Molotovs, and he began to throw all of them at the cars, making them catch fire.
he wiped his forehead from the sweat he collected when beating the inanimate machines to death. All he has to do now is leave before-
"Hey! What the hell are you doing to our rides?!"
Spike looked up and sees a black griffin, a yellow earth pony mare, and a red unicorn mare, each of them holding a gun. The purple drake kept looking at them as they looked at a puddle of blood they stood next to, the yellow earth pony mare looked at it with widening eyes and tears began to develop from her.
"What have you done to my brother?!?!" She yelled.
"Uhhh….He's just sleeping after drinking a whole bottle of red wine." Spike said nonchalantly.
"That's too red and too thick to be wine! AND MY BROTHER HATES WINE!" She replied, pointing at the obvious blood puddle.
Spike bit his lip. "Oh...then he dead..."
The mare screamed and fired her Beretta at Spike, who ducked behind Lyra and Bon Bon's burnt car. The griffin and unicorn retaliated and fired their weapons too.
Spike knew if he was gonna get out of this he's gonna have to fight. He dropped the bat and equipped the Colt Python he stole from the mare's brother.
After hearing the sounds of gunfire stopped, Spike stood up and fired back at the three creatures, he managed to hit the griffin straight in the head and the red unicorn in the chest, making both of them fall dead and hit the sidewalk with a thud, dropping their automatics.
Spike ran to the back entrance he got in from and hid behind the wall near the gate as the sound of blasting and bullets ricocheting rang in his ears.
"I'm gonna kill you!!" screamed the sister, reloading her Beretta from behind her cover. She fired her gun but it just jammed all of a sudden.
Spike heard her jammed gun and popped out of cover, shooting her in the chest. The mare grunted and dropped to the ground. The purple dragon ran up to her still pointing his gun at her downed body and fired it, ending her right there.
He dropped his Python on the ground and picked up the griffin's Uzi from the ground, now it was time to finish his pursuers who tried to kill him at the coffee shop.
Lyra and Bon Bon were backed up at the counter attempting to run and ram the door down. The couple held hands and counted. "1....2.....3!"
Both ponies ran at the door but before they could the door swung open and both ponies rammed into their car, causing them to get cut when they hit the ground thanks to some of the broken glass from the windows of their car. Both mares slowly got up with cuts on their faces, hands, and arms, oblivious on what's going on; before their question was answered with 2 gun clacks.
They looked in front of them and saw Spike, aiming at them with both the griffin's Uzi and the red unicorn's Skorpion in each hand. "Hey there, darlings."
"Y-YOU!" Lyra yelled.
"Yes....' Me'" Spike replied.
"You got some balls showing up here, ya fuckin lizard," screamed Bon Bon.
"Say hi to your ancestors for me..."
Spike pulled the triggers on both sub-machine guns causing them to go full auto onto the two love ponies, bullets hit every single part of their torsos in slow-motion, they shut their eyes as the bullets sent their bodies backward onto their car as bullet caps poured into their bodies and blood flew out behind them. Their car got drenched in their blood along with holes that the stray bullets hit.
Spike's guns clicked empty as Lyra and Bon Bon's corpses fell to the ground in a sitting position together, blood soaking the ground and their Bolt-Thrower. The final bullet case fell next to Spike and he finally began to breathe normally again, he dropped the Uzi on the ground but left the Skorpion in his hand as he tried to catch his breath.
"Nice work."
Spike looked to where the voice came from and aimed his Skorpion at them, but then he saw that it was just Applejack who had an impressed look on her face. He dropped the Skorpion on the ground too as he walked over to her.
"Ya managed to do the job and even got some bodies on ya...Ah gotta admit Spike, Ah'm impressed." Applejack told the drake, patting his back.
"Thanks..." Spike replied. "So can we go back now?"
"Yea, sure, come on," AJ told him, leading him to the Microcar.
[30 minutes later] Sugarcube Café
Applejack parked the car into the back garage and threw the keys at Flash, who caught it with one hand. The orange mare led Spike to Celestia and Luna who were sitting down at a booth, eating lunch. Luna was eating tomato soup, and Celestia was drinking a banana smoothie. On the table was also Apple whiskey along with 4 shot glasses.
Both Sisters noticed. "Hey, Applejack," Luna said. "How did young Spike do?"
"He was amazin' bosses, ya should've seen him'. He bashed the cars and soon we were gone before they even knew what happened, but Spike killed a few of them and he told meh two of them were the ones who attacked him at the coffee shop because of his taxi. But he paid them back, Ah think he's officially one of us now if Ah do say so mah self, Solaris Sisters."
Celestia and Luna looked at Spike with smiles, Luna then poured all of them a shot and they all cheered with glass clinks. They all took a shot at once and Celestia put her hand on Spike's shoulder.
"Spike Dragan.....Welcome to the Family."
Author's Note
Now Spike is an official member of The Solaris Family and Lyra and Bon Bon will surely not bother him anymore. ![]()
