I got Isekai'd as a Dragonborn

MINUTES LATER

“So… You think this is going to be a good idea?” asked Clyde

“Why? you doubt me?” said Spike

“No, but… are you sure we aren’t going to get in trouble for taking a quest without belonging to a guild?” said Clyde

Spike stopped and turn to face his new friend

“For the last time Clyde, it says here… this quest is open to ANYONE dumb or brave enough to attempt it,” said Spike as he held the quest paper in his hand

“Oh… how specific,” said Clyde

“Yeah… the only downside is that we won’t be able to cash in the money for the quest until we are accepted by a guild,” said Spike

“Then what’s the point of doing all this?” asked Clyde

“Well, we can’t get the cash, but… we can get rare items and most importantly… experience!” said Spike with fire in his eyes

“Oh yeah… experience,” said Clyde

“Yeah… well, this says that we are supposed to explore the whole dungeon, all the way to the last floor,” said Spike

“And how many floors are there?” asked Clyde

“By the looks of it… 100,” said Spike

“WHAT!!!!” said Clyde

“And by the looks of it, each floor is harder than the last,” said Spike as he read the paper

“That’s…” Clyde began

“THAT’S PERFECT!!!” said Spike

“a problem,” said Clyde a the same time

“What do you mean?” asked Spike

“I… I’m not good at fighting,” said Clyde

“Dude… I saw you fight back there, you’re extremely pain resistant,” said Spike

“Yeah… but it’s not by accident,” said Clyde

“Plus… you use heavy weapons, and with the amount of muscle you have this should be easy, come on,” said Spike as he entered the dungeon

“I… hope this doesn't end like it usually does,” said Clyde as he entered the dungeon.

FIRST FLOOR

“Ok, so the first floor is supposed to be the easiest one of all… by the looks of it there are only low-level creatures on it,” said Spike

“How low are we talking about?” asked Clyde

“Spiders… rats, things like those,” said Spike

“Oh,” said Clyde as they continued to walk through the first floor

After a few minutes of walking and nothing happening, Spike and Clyde had finally made it to the end of the hallway, well, almost…

“Well, that was anticlimactic,” said Spike

“What was?” asked Clyde

“I was expecting something to pop up and attack us, but… nothing, just nothing,” said Spike

“I’m glad about that though,” said Clyde

“Why?” asked Spike

“I ain’t good with fighting,” said Clyde

“Oh, come on, that’s ridiculous,” said Spike

“I’m serious…” said Clyde

Just then, Spike and Clyde heard something behind them, they turned and that’s when they saw it

“GREMLINS!!” they both screamed

“Oh, this is going to be fun, they’re quick, but due to their height they aren’t much of a threat for…” Spike began

“AHHHHHH!!!!!” said Clyde

Spike turned around and saw Clyde charging at them, only for his Warhammer to get stuck on a random piece of rope and bring that part of the wall down on top of him.

“The fuck just happened?” thought Spike as he used his fire magic to kill all of the gremlins and collect all of their loot.

“Yo, Clyde, you alive down there?” asked Spike

“Oh… I can taste my spine,” said Clyde as he climbed out of the debris

“Does it taste well?... and while you’re at it, who the hell do you know how it tastes?” said Spike

“Long story,” was all Clyde answer

“Well, the gremlins are dead, and by the looks of it, they weren’t as tough as I thought,” said Spike

“Are you kidding me! Gremlins are known to destroy villages all over the world!” said Clyde

“Not these… too small,” said Spike

“So… you’re saying that… they were…?” said Clyde

“Maybe… maybe not… in this line of work you can’t be thinking about who you kill, cause they aren’t, it’s kill or be killed,” said Spike as he helped Clyde up

“If you say so,” said Clyde as he helped Spike pick up the rest of the loot from the burned corpses.

A few moments later

“OK, that should be all of it, time to head to the next floor,” said Spike

“Right… the next floor,” said Clyde as he followed Spike down the stairs

SECOND FLOOR

“Are you sure we’re not going to get lost?” asked Clyde

“No, I have a map, not to mention, I left made a magical checkpoint outside in case of an emergency,” said Spike

“Oh… that sounds useful,” said Clyde

“Just relax, if you don’t pay attention to your surroundings you become vulnerable,” said Spike

“Right… I know that,” said Clyde with a nervous voice

“Good, cause things are going to get tougher from here on out,” said Spike

“OK,” said Clyde

“The second floor contains more gremlins and… whatever this thing is,” said Spike

“GLOWSNARE!!!” said Clyde

“Is that what it is, wow, I should’ve paid attention in biology, I mean look at the picture it’s so…” said Spike

“NO, GLOWSNARE!!!” said Clyde pointing at the massive tiger-like creature charging towards them

“Wow… THAT’S A CUB!!!!!” said Spike

At this point, Clyde charged at the Glowsnare, only to trip on his own feet and land face-first on the ground, allowing the glowsnare to use him as a stepping stone to lung at Spike who calmly drew his daggers and beheaded the glowsnare cub.

“Now that’s more like it!!!” said Spike as he grabbed his dagger and gutted the glowsnare

“What are you doing?” asked Clyde trying to hold his lunch in his stomach

“Do you… know… how much we can get for… a Glowsnare’s blood and heart on the market?” asked Spike

“No,” said Clyde

“Well… me neither, but I want to find out,” said Spike as he placed the blood and heart of the Glowsnare in his backpack and got up

“I’ve got to ask… isn’t that Backpack a bit too small for this?” asked Clyde

“Not really… it’s magical, I created it to help me store as many things as I need… the downside is… I wasn’t able to do something about the weight, so… it gets heavier and heavier with each item,” said Spike

“Oh… sounds counterproductive,” said Clyde

“Yeah… but I’ll fix it soon, I just have to know how to do it properly,” said Spike

“If you say so… so, what’s the limit?” asked Clyde

“Of what?” asked Spike

“The weight it can carry?” asked Clyde

“Well… it depends on how much I can carry,” said Spike

“Oh…” said Clyde

Just then, they heard a roar behind them

“I take it it was your cub,” said Spike as their eyes landed on a massive Glowsnare looking at them

“That’s… that’s massive,” said Clyde

“The Patriarch,” said Spike

“What?” asked Clyde

“I believe he is the patriarch of this litter, he may have been looking for his missing cub,” said Spike

“So then… we just made it angry,” said Clyde

“Possibly, but we can take him,” said Spike as he drew his daggers

“Right!” said Clyde as he got into a fighting stance holding his Warhammer

At that moment the Glowsnare charged at them at full speed

“Ok… this one is bigger than the cub, obviously, so, let it get closer, then you hit him on the side and I will finish him up, copy?” asked Spike

“Yeah… got it,” said Clyde as he swang at the Glowsnare only to lose balance and fall to the floor directly in front of the Glowsnare, tripping it and send it sliding towards Spike.

The Glowsnare was going so fast, Spike had to jump out of the way to avoid being hit by it.

While he was airborne, Spike flipped to use the ceiling as a platform and charge down towards the fallen Glowsnare, landing on its head and impaling with his daggers, killing it.

“Wow, good plan, Clyde, but you could’ve warned me about it, almost go crossed on his path,” said Spike

“Sorry… but, I wasn’t planning to change the tactic,” said Clyde as he got up from the floor

“Really?” said Spike

“Yeah… I suck at fighting, because… I’m EXTREMELY clumsy, I can’t even raise my weapon properly without bringing down a wall or a ceiling, or a whole house,” said Clyde

“Yeah, I can see that happening… but this should be the perfect place for you to tone your abilities,” said Spike

“I try… but so far I’ve only destroyed a wall, part of a ceiling, a set of stairs, and tripped a Glowsnare… I‘ve given you more trouble than what I’m worth,” said Clyde with a sad face

Spike felt pity for his new friend and was, unfortunately, lost for word on what to say, until he remembered what he had said before coming to this town.

"I'll teach them myself… I've been training for almost 10 years of my life, I'm sure I can do it,"

“Come on, it’s no time to be sulking,” said Spike as he continued on with Clyde behind him

“But it’s true,” said Clyde

“Well, in that case… I’ll train you,” said Spike

“Train me?” asked Clyde

“Yup… I’ve trained my fighting abilities for 10 years, I’m sure I can teach you something,” said Spike

“Really?” said Clyde with a sparkle in his eyes

“Yup, but it will take a lot of commitment, guts, and… acceptance of death,” said Spike

“Yeah!... wait was that last one?” said Clyde

“Well, the first rule of adventuring… the only certain thing in this job is death,” said Spike

“Ok… noted,” said Clyde

“Good… now, we are about to head down to the third floor, and you’ll defeat every single enemy that attacks us,” said Spike

“YEAH!!!... wait, what?” said Clyde

“As I said, you’ll defeat every single enemy that attacks us… I will only intervene if they’re too many of them and you get overrun,” said Spike

“Are you sure?” said Clyde

“If you want to get better, you have to fight on your own, I’ll just be a spotter, ok?” asked Spike

“Ok, I’m ready,” said Clyde as they both walked down the stairs to the next floor

VARIOUS MINUTES LATER

Spike and Clyde had been making pointers while Clyde fought his way down the floors of the dungeon.

You could say things were going great, but, unfortunately, Clyde seemed to be going backward than forwards.

Every Time there was a new enemy, Clyde would either do the opposite of what he was supposed to do, destroy a wall, and even activate all of the traps in the area.

It came to the point it was becoming comical, even Spike was laughing at his mishaps from time to time, even helping him out of the traps and killing the enemies.

But then, it got annoying, Clyde would make the same mistakes, even if he was fighting another monster he had fought earlier.

And this was getting on Spike’s nerves… A LOT.

FIFTEENTH FLOOR

BOOM! WHAM!!! KABLAM!!!”

Was heard all over the floor as Clyde did his best to kill another Cavehound, but his strong, slow, awkward moves were being easily dodged by it until Clyde, once again, hit another pillar and it fell on top of the Cavehound killing it.

“Well, that makes 500,” said Spike

“Wow, thanks, I never thought I’d kill so many creatures,” said Clyde

“Well, you didn’t really kill them, you just forced them to be a victim of one of your accidents,” said Spike

“Ouch,” said Clyde

“But, that’s progress nonetheless,” said Spike

Just then they heard a loud guttural roar coming from around the corner

They peered around it and saw the owner of the voice

“A Neetherhag,” said Spike

“Oh shit, what’s that doing here?” said Clyde

“I have no idea, the only thing I know is, if that’s here, then the rest are not far behind,” said Spike

“The rest of what?” asked Clyde

“Chaos Orcs… usually many of them,” said Spike

“That’s bad isn’t it,” said Clyde

“Of course it is, if they manage to escape the dungeon, all hell will break loose,” said Spike

“Why?” asked Spike

“Cause if it makes it out, It can show the rest of the creatures on this dungeon the exit and they will swarm the city,” said Spike

“Is that bad though?” said Clyde

“It is for me… I ain’t paying for someone to exterminate them, not to mention… this would be the perfect target for you,” said Spike

“Why do you say that?” asked Clyde

“Well, it’s about your height, same amount of muscle mass, a similar style of fighting… and the fact that you’re in his line of sight,” said Spike

“I still don’t… wait what?!!!!” said Clyde as he turned and noticed the Neetherhag, staring at him “AH! FUCK!” said Clyde as he was hit by a boulder.

“Oh, yeah, I forgot that these things like to use range attacks,” said Spike

“And you tell me now?!!!” said Clyde as he got up and was hit by another boulder

“Sorry… but, go kill it!!” said Spike

Clyde then got up from the ground and charged at the Neetherhag, only for it to pummel Clyde with another boulder, but this time, Clyde was able to deflect the boulder with his Warhammer like if it was a baseball, making it impact the wall to the left of the Neetherhag, causing part of the ceiling to fall on top of it.

Unfortunately, this just made it angrier and it charged at Clyde, grabbing a part of the fallen pillar and using it as a weapon mimicking Clyde

They finally reached each other and locked weapons, each one fighting over dominance of the other.

The battle was intense, with each one landing a blow to the other until finally, Clyde was able to use his height and headbutted the Neetherhag on the face, causing it to stumble backward, giving him an opening to strike.

But as soon as he was going to connect with the Neetherhag’s body

The Neetherhagswang his weapon erratically and connected with Clyde’s side sending him flying through a nearby wall.

“Ouch… that hurt,” said Clyde as he crawled out of the hole, but stopped when he noticed the Neetherhag’s feet right in front of him

“Oh, Shit,” he said as he looked up and saw that the Neetherhag was about to strike, but Clyde quickly used his strength to punch the Neetherhag in the knee cap, causing it to stumble in pain giving him time to get up and regroup.

At the same time, he was able to spot an opening in the Neetherhag’s defense, so he decided to use it.

But he once tripped over himself when charging and to make matters worse, his Warhammer landed far from where he was.

When Clyde looked before him, he saw that the Neetherhag had recovered and was now towering above him, ready to strike again.

Clyde closed his eyes expecting the worst, when

BANG BANG!!!

A loud thud was heard as the Neetherhag fell lifeless before him

“Well… that was close,” said Spike as he walked over to him

“Thanks… for the safe,” said Clyde

“Don’t mention it… but I want you to tell me what is wrong with you?” said Spike

“What do you mean?” asked Clyde

“You fight like if you were a different person,” said Spike

“A different person?” asked Clyde

“Yeah, you’re heavy, yet you try to fight like if you were a rogue or warrior, your body type and weapon don’t match that style, not to mention, you seem to doubt every step you give,” said Spike

“I just… get really nervous when fighting… I’m afraid of messing up and being an obstacle,” said Clyde

“And yet, that doubt turns you into your worst fear,” said Spike

Clyde remained silent for a few seconds not knowing what to say

“Stop trying to be something you’re not… don’t fight yourself, but fight them, believe in yourself no matter what, confidence is key for victory,” said Spike as he extended his hand towards Clyde

Clyde just looked at it before Spike said

“You have much training to do,” with a smile

Clyde smiled back and took his hand as he helped him up

“Thanks, I needed that,” said Clyde

“You also need to trust yourself when fighting, I don’t know what they taught you in school when fighting, but, you have to forget about it, picture your battle in your head, keep an eye on every small detail… and most importantly… remember you’re a big, powerful HEAVY… not a small warrior, understood?” said Spike

“Yeah!!!” said Clyde

“Good, then go get them!” said Spike as he pointed to the massive wave of Orcs heading towards them.

Clyde closed his eyes, grabbed his weapon tightly, and once he opened his eyes, you could see murder in them.

“Ready when you are,” said Spike

And with that Clyde charged at the orcs coming towards them.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

“Man, my back is killing me… not to mention this backpack weighs a ton… and Clyde is still going… Oh NO! did I create a monster!... I have to stop him,” said Spike as he stopped to crack his back and catch his breath after chasing after Clyde for the last several hours.

“Ok, I’ve got my second breath, so… it’s time to… WHERE DID HE GO!!!” said Spike as he saw more and more corpses flooding the floor of the dungeon.

Spike quickly got up and ran after Clyde following the growing number of corpses.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

“There he is...and that is a Duskleach!” said Spike

As soon as he finished that thought, Clyde smacked the Duskleach with his Warhammer so hard it exploded sending its insides flying everywhere.

“This is my chance!” said Spike as he charged at Clyde.

However, Clyde was still in his Berserker mode and attacked Spike as he was nearing him, but Spike easily dodges the attack and smacked Clyde in the back of his head, bringing him to his senses.

“WOW! Spike… where are we… and what happened to all of these orcs and… things?” asked Clyde

“You happened,” said Spike

“Really… I did all this?” said Clyde

“Yup… you don’t remember do you?” said Spike

“No… I kind of blacked out for a moment,” said Clyde

“For a moment?! Dude, I’ve been chasing you for hours,” said Spike

“Wow, really?” said Clyde

“Yeah… not to mention we went even deeper than intended on our first day,” said Spike

“Really?... what floor are we on?” asked Clyde

“The 68th floor,” said Spike

“WHAT THE FUCK!!!!” said Clyde

“Why words exactly… Now, let’s get out of here and come back tomorrow… I have to fix this backpack, the weight thing is a massive issue,” said Spike as he used his magic to teleport them to the entrance.

“That was fun,” said Clyde

“I have to admit, it was,” said Spike as he used his magic to hide the entrance

“Why are you hiding it?” asked Clyde

“Do you really want another squad to stumble upon it and finish the dungeon after all of the hard work we… you, put into it?” said Spike

“Good point,” said Clyde as the 2 of them walked away towards the town.

Unknown to them, a hooded figure walked out from behind a tree and watched them leave

“I see I was right about him… he really is powerful,” said the figure as it followed the 2 friends into town.

BACK IN TOWN

“So… do you have a plan?” asked Clyde

“Plan?” asked Spike

“About the city,” said Clyde

“Well… I have the outline of it, but it’s still missing a few minor details,” said Spike

“Well, if I can be of any help, count on me,” said Clyde

“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind,” said Spike

Spike and Clyde continued walking for a few more minutes in total silence until

“So, what now?” asked Clyde

“I… have no idea,” said Spike

“Shouldn’t we search for a place to stay the night?” asked Clyde

“If I were you, I wouldn’t go to the hotels in this city… God knows WHO used them and for WHAT they used them,” said Spike

“Guess you’re right,” said Clyde

“Not to mention, we don’t really have any cash… and judging by the moon, there are no traders open at this time,” said Spike

“So then, we’re just going to walk around town aimlessly until morning?” asked Clyde

“Looks like it… but that’s not safe anyway,” said Spike

“Should we return to the dungeon and camp near the entrance?” said Clyde

“We don’t have camping gear… we might get attacked by wildlife or bandits… and by the looks of the sky it’s going to rain,” said Spike as they continued to walk around town.

“Well shit… how long do you think it’s going to take us to finish the quest?” asked Clyde

“Possibly tomorrow… thanks to your rampage you eliminated a massive amount of monsters in the dungeon, plus I’ve sketched a map of the floors we’ve been… for a little extra,” said Spike

“Oh yeah, and adding the money you can get from the loot, we actually have quite the treasure in our hands,” said Clyde

“Yeah, so let’s just be patient and…” Spike as they both heard a conversation nearby

“... I mean it, we can have a really good time if you come with us,” said a male voice

“Yeah, sorry, I have no interest of hanging out with you,” said a female voice

At this point, the exchange had gotten the guys attention, so they decided to peer around the corner of the building to see what was going on.

“Heh, I don’t think you understand… dear… we know you were placed on the waiting list of the guild and that you need the cash and a place to sleep… if you come with us, we can get you a place to sleep, not to mention, we have connections with the guildmaster,” said on of the men

“If you do what we say, we can put in a good word for you… maybe even get you accepted into the guild immediately,” said another

“These guys can’t be serious, are they?” said Clyde

“The answer would surprise you dude,” said Spike

It was at that moment when Spike finally got a good look at the girl being harassed before them

“Wait a minute… red and yellow hair… cyan eyes… that way of speaking… IT CAN’T BE!... That’s Sunset Shimmer!” said Spike

“Wait, Sunset Shimmer as in Sasha Stein, or?” began Clyde but was caught off by a loud slap sound.

Spike and Clyde quickly turned to look at the conversation and noticed that Sunset Shimmer had slapped on of the guys

“I’ll say it one last time… Don’t touch me again, leave me alone, and never come near me again,” she said as she used her left arm to cover her chest.

The look the 2 men gave her was terrifying, and you didn’t need to be a genius to know what they were going to do next.

“You know, we were just trying to be nice,” said the one that Sunset Shimmer slapped

“But if this is the way you’re going to thank our kindness…” said the other one

“Then it’s best that you learn your place!” said the other one as he pulled out a dagger and lunged at Sunset Shimmer

Since he was standing too close to her and the fact that she was not expecting the sudden attack Sunset Shimmer was unable to position herself properly to counter the attack

The dagger was about to make contact with her neck, when her aggressor's hand stopped suddenly.

“What are you doing man, finish her off,” said the other one

“I’m trying, but… I can’t move my hand,” said the attacker

Just then, his hand began to shiver and twist in unnatural ways, causing him to drop the dagger

“WHAT’S GOING ON?!!!” he screamed as his wrist yanked backwards with such force it broke, not only the hand, but also his arm

“WHAT IS THIS!!!!!” was the last thing he ever said before his neck yanked to the side suddenly and he fell to the floor lifeless

“Wha-what did… what did you do?” said the remaining assailant

“N-nothing,” said Sunset Shimmer as she looked at the corpse of her attacker

“Bullshit! YOU KILLED HIM!” said the man as he made an attempt to fight Sunset only for a small projectile to fly through his skull killing him instantly.

Sunset Shimmer began to look around frantically, drawing her own sword

“Wh-who’s there?” she said with a stutter

“Relax… it’s just me,” said Spike as he walked out of the shadows followed by Clyde

“W-wh-who are you?” she said

“Yeah, I know it’s hard to recognize me but… it’s been a while Sunset,” said Spike

The moment he said this, Sunset Shimmer made eye contact with her saviour

“Spike?... WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!” she said as she hugged him

“My land… came to recover it in secret… blah, blah… saw you in trouble and acted,” said Spike

“Well, thank goodness you did… oh, hi,” said Sunset as she noticed Clyde

“NIce to see you again Ms. Stein,” said Clyde

“That accent, the height… the body… Clyde Durban,” said Sunset

“Yup,” said Clyde

“Ok, now that we’re all done with presentations… what are you doing here?” asked Spike

“Well… it’s a long story,” said Sunset Shimmer

“We have time,” said Spike

“I beg to differ, not to mention, being out in the open for too long seems to be a bad idea,” said the mysterious figure as it worked towards the group.

“Who are you?” asked Sunset Shimmer

However, instead of acting surprised like Sunset Shimmer, Spike pinned the figure against the wall and said

“You better start singing if you want to live,” as he summoned pointy rocks to act as claws in his left hand.

“OK, OK, OK! I’LL TALK, PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!” said the figure as he removed the hood he was wearing.

“It’s the con artist from earlier,” said Clyde

“Ok… I have a name, Conrad Wentworth, you can call me Capper,” he said, still shivering from Spike’s magic.

“OK...Conrad, talk,” said Spike

“I know I’m not in the best position to request anything but… wouldn’t it be better to have this conversation over a warm meal and a cold drink?” said Conrad

Spike looked at Clyde, who just shrugged

“Fine,” said Spike as he let Conrad go.

“Thank you, now, if you’re so kind to follow me, I know a delicious restaurant not far from here, we can talk there privately,” said Conrad as he walked away.

Spike and Clyde looked at each other and began to follow him, until Spike stopped

“So… are you coming?” he asked Sunset Shimmer

“You want me to go with you guys?” asked Sunset

“Of course… we may not be close friends, but… a known friendly face is better than an unknown one,” said Spike with a smile.

This made Sunset Shimmer blush as her heart skipped a bit

Sunset Shimmer walked up to Spike as the 2 of them hurried to catch up with Conrad and Clyde.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Conrad had taken Spike, Clyde, and Sunset Shimmer to a restaurant near the south border of the town, and ordered so much food that the owner had to close for the night.

“So, where did you get the money to pay for all of us?” asked Clyde

“Oh, from the poor souls that were dumb enough to mess with you earlier,” said Conrad

“What is he talking about?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“Earlier today, I ran into the 2 of them, by chance, at the guild hall, after they left a group of low-lives came up to me to collect some money, but I told them that I had lost a bet to the 2 of them and that they had the money,” said Conrad

“Therefore the reason we are pissed at him,” said Spike as he took a sip of his cider

“And I apologize, but, I wouldn’t have sent them towards you if I didn’t believe you could kill them easily,” said Conrad

“How do you know we could?” asked Clyde

“Well, despite the fact that I don’t know much about you, I could tell that you possess inmence muscle power and that you are highly tolerant of pain,” said Conrad

“What makes you think that’s true?” asked Clyde

“The fact that you’ve had an arrow stuck in your back and you don’t seem to notice,” said Conrad pointing at the arrow, which Spike removed immediately.

“You are so awesome,” said Sunset Shimmer

“Well, Ms. Stein, I believe you are awesome as well,” said Conrad

“You know of me?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“Of course… The Canterlot Demoness,” said Conrad

This made Sunset Shimmer turn pale

“There is no need for that reaction, the fact that you possess that level of magic is amazing… ask Spike,” said Conrad

Sunset Shimmer turned to look at Spike

“Agreed… people call me the Dragonland’s Demon… and it’s growing on me,” said Spike

“But… aren’t you worried that people may think you are evil?” said Sunset Shimmer

“Are YOU evil?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“Well… I’m no saint, but… I don’t consider myself evil,” said Sunset Shimmer

“Then, I am just like you,” said Spike with a smile, which caused Sunset Shimmer to blush again

“Wow… that was smooth,” said Conrad

“Yup… he is a ladies man… he just doesn’t realize it,” said Clyde

“So, Conrad…” said Spike

“Capper,” he said

“What?” said Spike

“Using my name is becoming tedious, so, call me Capper,” he said

“Ok… Capper, what do you really want?” said Spike

“I want to help you recover your land,” he said

“But, why?” asked Spike

“I came to this town when I was 4 years old with my parents and sister… now, only I remain,” said Capper

“Oh… did they… you know,” said Clyde

“Die?... my dad, yes, my sister took our mother, and moved to Colterville,” said Capper

“Oh… why didn’t you go with them?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“Cause, I knew, someday, Spike was going to come here and recover the land, and well, I wanted to help,” said Capper

“I find that hard to believe,” said Spike

“Well, I do possess magic… dark magic, and that gives me an ability known as “Fateseeker”,” said Capper

“Ok, I believe that,” said Spike

“Wait, what is Fateseeker?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“Fateseeker is an ability that allows you to view all of the possible outcome to certain events, and determine which ones is most likely to occur,” said Spike

“Wow, that’s awesome,” said Sunset Shimmer

“Yeah… but it has many flaws… not to mention, the ability is also considered defective,” said Capper

“Why?” asked Sunset

“There is no real way to recharge it, so you might not be able to use it for a long period of time,” said Spike

“Oh,” said Sunset

“Yeah… therefore why I decided to train my magic to the point I became a great “Ghost”,” said Capper

“What’s that?” asked Clyde

“A “Ghost” is a dark magician who uses his magic for stealth and tones his or her abilities around that,” said Spike

“Awesome,” said Clyde

“Not to mention, I am also good at obtaining information about everything, houses, prices, people… gang hideouts and modus operandi,” said Capper

“So, you want to help?” said Spike

“Of course,” said Capper

“What do you get out of it?” asked Spike

“The opportunity to recover the land I call home… basically, I just want to return the favor to the town,” said Capper

“Well… we need all the help we can get,” said Spike

“Excellent!... now, what is the plan?” asked Capper

Spike immediately went pale and began to sweat

“You do have a plan, right?” said Capper

“To be honest… I didn’t know much about the town before I came here, so, I was going to join the guild and get to learn how the town works,” said Spike

“Well, it is imperative that the 3 of you join the guild,” said Capper

“Why?” asked Spike

“If you don’t, you won’t be able to cash rewards, get work, or even rent a house,” said Capper

“Makes sense,” said Spike

“Yeah… next, I have to tell you, if you are going to do… that… you better use magic, no bullets,” said Capper

“Why?” asked Clyde

“Every gun in this town has your name on it, which means, if you shoot and kill someone, that is not a bounty hunt, or a rival gang member, it can be traced back to you and you will become a bounty yourself, but magic, can’t be traced, giving you the perfect weapon,” said Capper

“Ok… but why?” asked Spike

“Allow me to give you an outline of the town…” said Capper

“This town has a crime pyramid, and it’s divided into 4 sectors, north, south, east, and west, each one of those secors is controlled by a gang, each one worst than the last... now the North sector is controlled by a disambiguation of the Diamond Dog clan, known as the “Rabid dogs”, this guys are a bunch of petty thugs and juvy rejects who don’t know when to walk away, possible the reason why they are usually massacred by the other gangs…”

“The east sector is controlled by the Maneiacs, this ones are a bit more organized than the last ones, despite the fact that they don’t really change much in their modus operandi… the only thing that separates them from the other gangs, is that they mostly attack rival gangs… but when they attack civilians… you can expect a massacre,”

“The west sector is controlled by the “Sanguinarios” this guys are bad news, not only do tehy do extortion, kidnapping, and murder… but this ones will kill you only for looking at them… like the guys from earlier,”

“Wait, so they were members of the Sanguinarios?” asked Spike

“Yup… their main rivals are the Maneiacs, the reason… I believe it was a botched love affair between the leaders of the organizations,” said Capper

“And finally, the south, the south is controlled by the Storm knights… and they are the worst street gang,” said Capper

“Why?” asked Clyde

“These guys are ruthless, they are well organized, well trained, and know all the loopholes in the law, and they also are the only street gang with the balls to fight organizations on the next level of the pyramid, since they have members they call “Storm Agents” they are everywhere, and they are trained assassins that you don’t want to mess with, plus… they answer directly to Van Der Houssen,” said Capper

“So that means they have more immunity than other groups,” said Sunset Shimmer

“At first… but from what I’ve heard, the leader of the group is planning on turning on Van der Houssen and become the new lord of this land,” said Capper

“maybe we can strike a deal with them,” said Clyde

“No… if he succeeds, then he will come for me, and, Van der Houssen’s head is mine,” said Spike with a deadly look

“Wow, he looks so hot… HOLD YOUR HORMONES SISTER, YOU JUST REUNITED WITH THE GUY, YOU AREN’T EVEN CLOSE IN FRIENDLY WAYS!!!” thought Sunset

“Well, Clyde may be up to something, the second level of the crime pyramid consists of the well known Mafias and Cartels, 4 in total, The Demon Stallions to the north, who support the Rabid Dogs… The Griffonstone Crime Familia, who support the Maneiacs… the Sanguinario Cartel, no need to explain who they support… and lastly, The Untamed Brotherhood, who support the Storm Knights,” said Capper

“That sounds somewhat intimidating,” said Sunset Shimmer

“That’s nothing, the mafias then answer to Van Der Houssen’s ministers, The Demon Stallions leader, Hosuke Arakaki is the younger brother of Van der Houssen’s minister of communications Nobuhiro Arakaki,”

“The Griffonstone crime Familia’s leader Leopoldo “Leo” Griffoni is a close friend of Van der Houssen’s minister of Defense & Justice Georgio Escaleta,”

“The Sanguinario cartel… well, I don’t exactly know if there is a relationship between their leader Rodolfo “El Sanguinario” Ortega and Van Der Houssen’s minister of Commerce & labour Miriam Von Nielssen,”

“And lastly the leader of the Storm Knights… I don’t know his name, answers to Van der Houssen’s minister of Finance Luuk Van der Houssen, his own younger brother,” said Capper

“So it’s all a web of corruption,” said Spike

“Correct, the ministers I just named are very close to Van Der Houssen, and at the same time, they earn extra benefits for their rich friends and families while tormenting the rest of the town, many times, they are the once that order the death of someone,” said Capper

“Which mean, that they control the laws and bend them to their will,” said Clyde

“Not to mention, without the existence of a police corp. in this town, violence can run rampant,” said Spike

“Oh no, there is police in the city,” said Capper

This comment caused them to look at him

“There is?” asked Spike

“Oh yeah, they aren’t too many, but don’t get your hopes up, they don’t really care justice, unless the person harmed is important to the higher figures of this town… plus, they are all part of the Demon Stallions and Sanguinarios organizations,” said Capper

“So, it seems that we are heavily outnumbered,” said Spike

“You think?” said Sunset Shimmer

“Yeah well, Mafias usually are willing to side with people who are stronger than them, so, if we are able to take out, not only the gang they support, but all of them, then we can strike a deal,” said Capper

“Maybe that could work, not to mention, if we are able to obliterate the street gangs we can tone our abilities to the point we are tough to kill,” said Clyde

“Maybe…” said Spike

“For now, the 3 of you worry about finishing that dungeon and entering the guild,” said Capper

“Why?” asked Sunset

“That way you guys can have an alibi in case someone suspects about this… plus, you need the referral to rent a house, and you also need the cash,” said Capper

“Makes sense,” said Clyde

“In the meantime, Capper, I need you to find out everything you can about the gangs, and when I say everything, I mean, everything,” said Spike

“Right… which one should I start with?” asked Capper

“For you, which one is the weakest gang in town?” asked Spike

“Rabid Dogs, they are just a bunch of thugs life I said,” said Capper

“Then start with that… Sunset… I’m not going to force…” Spike began

“Let’s go! we have a dungeon to clear, a guild to join, and a town to liberate,” said Sunset as she got up and readied her gear.

“Ok… that was….highly appealing… STOP IT! YOU DID THE SAME SHIT WITH TWILIGHT… Well I am a dude… OK, let’s go!” said Spike as he got up, followed by Clyde, and walked out of the restaurant and headed to the dungeon.

Capper followed them out of the restaurant and watched them disappear into the horizon.

“Father… it has begun!” said Capper as he looked up at the sky and hurried away to spy on the Rabid dogs.
