Gunshots could be heard throughout Ponyville, as the gang war had finally began. This had been going on ever since Blossomforth had died. Spike had started his mafia family which was called Heathspike. Spike was an eighteen year old dragon that had lost his marefriend and soon-to-be-fiance. He had been devastated, and had cried for weeks.
His marefriend; Fluttershy, has been helping him. He was turned into a vampire at Nightmare Night, by Fluttershy who showed his love for him. He found out, his true feelings were with Fluttershy. He didn't know why, but he knew that his heart was to be with her. What he didn't know though, was that Fluttershy was obsessed with him. She wanted him all for herself. She had killed many mares simply for talking to Spike the wrong way.
Spike decided to keep his relationship with Fluttershy a secret, but someponies like the Cakes suspected that there was something going on between the two. Although, they were very supportive of him, and didn't tell anypony.
Princess Twilight Sparkle is an alicorn mare, that his Spike's sister figure who has taken care of Spike since she was old enough to take care of him. Princess Celestia is the real mother to Spike, well, adoptive mother. Spike though, could hardly care who he belonged to. He loves Fluttershy and nothing can stop him from loving her. He had also sworn to always protect her no matter the risks.
After his lust filled night with Fluttershy when he was turned, he had started to buy and sell drugs. He was also someone who invested a lot of his earnings into different businesses' and stocks. He was probably the riches one in the whole of Equestria, considering he earns a lot. He was buying weapons, and he was fighting several other gangsters, and had earned a lot of land mark. He was slowly becoming feared by other criminals. The ones that know of his activities are more sympathetic to him, and sometimes help him.
Spike is a purple scaled, and green spiked dragon who is 5'9 and, is quite muscular but not overly. He was usually wearing expensive suits, that made him look both more rich, but also have the mafia boss vibe with him. Twilight did know what he was doing, and had confronted him, but he had also become angrier and angrier as of late. The concern that she had shown him was nothing Spike wanted. Then again, Twilight had said it in a way, that Spike felt like she was talking to him as if he was five years old. It simply ticked him of to no end.
Spike was currently in a gun battle between the Diamond Dogs, and his mafia crew. His crew consisted of; Garble and his gang, the CMC, Big Mac, and Discord. They were the ones fighting along side Spike. Big Mac and Discord were naturally his best friends, and would die along side him. The CMC, were also good friends of Spike so they naturally joined him, and have been serving him ever since. Garble and his gang had traveled to the badlands, and they had been ambushed by some gryphons who were looking to earn money through selling organs. Dragon organs are very expensive, and has some sort of fire magic in them which the gryphons wanted to sell to some ponies or whatever. Spike saved them, and they felt indebted to him ever since. Garble and Spike became quite close, and decided to stay even though, Spike told them their 'debt' had been payed.
So yeah, a lot of things has been going on in Ponyville. Currently, Spike and his gang was in the middle of a gang war with the Diamond Dogs. Those dogs simply won't give up, this is the second time that week that a war had broken out between the two gangs. Then again, a gang war isn't truly finished either. They were a little bit outside of Ponyville, but the gunshots could still be heard. The Ponyville citizens in all honesty prayed for Spike. They understood his sorrow, and wouldn't judge him for a second.
Spike was taking cover behind one of the vans that had his green dragon flames as a logo to the side. The van was grey coloured, and the seats were painted in a purple and was fluffy. Spike was holding his Ak 47 that was a smaller version and was coloured in pure gold. Spike was wearing a business suit without a tie or anything. Spike was still in cover, but carefully went to the left and looked over and saw two Diamond Dogs aim, and he rushed from his cover and shot and them.
The Diamond Dogs were taking cover behind their ridiculously large bikes, and it was clear that they would lose this battle. Spike had managed to injure one of them, but the other one had managed to cover just in time. They were in a more secluded area, and Spike dreaded this, as other Diamond Dogs could pop up at any moment and the war would continue, until Spike had to flee. The grass felt nice as Spike lay on his stomach and crawling towards the enemies who were oblivious to Spike's sneakiness.
There were several trees in the area that didn't have any leafs left. Hearts Warming was coming up, and Spike had planned on celebrating it with Fluttershy who wasn't gonna celebrate with her family. Her brother had to work another full week and her parents were traveling to Manehattan. Spike shook all of those thoughts out, as he approached the enemies who had started to aim in the terrain for any of Spike's members.
Spike stopped crawling and got up from the ground and aimed his weapon at the enemies and shot them. He was simply twenty feet away, but he could see the shock and blood coming out from the Diamond Dogs. Some of them yelled out in surprise. The last Diamond Dog, who Spike assumed was the leader, ran from the scene, and got on one of the bikes. Spike ran a little, and tried shooting towards him, but to no avail. Luckily, Big Mac pulled out his MP14 from a rock that he had been taking cover from, and started to shoot towards the Diamond Dog who simply drove of but he did yell out in pain, so it was possible that Big Mac managed to hit him, which made them smile. Spike sighed, as he walked back towards the vans where he saw his crew waiting for him.
They looked a little bruised and he took notice of this. He didn't know whether to be concerned or not, but decided to leave it. "Good job everyone. I mean it, we managed to kill the others but not the leader. It's fine, we'll get him another time. Right now, we got business to discuss. Discord, did anyone from the Diamond Dogs die that was important somehow?" Spike asked, making Discord nod in confirmation. The gun battle had been intense, but being the god of chaos did have its perks.
"Yes, I counted at least one of them had information about the different gangster leaders across Equestria, and knew potentially some of our deals with the other races that we have had affairs with." Discord said, making everyone sigh in relief. They have had a problem with someone always seemingly to know what they were up to. Spike had ordered Discord to find out who it is, and he said that he couldn't find anyone from the mafia family they had created to have done anything. Spike then concluded it must have been someone outside from the family that somehow knew of what they were doing. Spike felt a sense of relief from hearing this.
"Good, although, i still want you to figure out how he found out about our dealings and whatnot." Spike said, making Discord nod. Discord was quite curious himself as to how the Diamond Dogs found out about the dealings. The other creatures that were there nodded themselves, wondering how everything had lead to this very moment.
"Okay my friends, let's head back to base, and have some fun." Spike said, as the others cheered and fired into the air. Spike smiled and fired his shots into the air himself. He then walked to one of his vans and sat in the passengers seat. Discord would be driving, while Big Mac would be in the back seat. The CMC got into their own van, and same went for Garble and his gang.
Discord started the van and started to drive. The dirt roads made sounds, as the three vans left the area with the blood, bodies, and bikes still the same. Spike pulled out his phone and saw that the picture of him and Fluttershy was there. He smiled. He remembered that day. He had won a two tickets to ten days trip that would be in the ocean. A cruise to be precise. He had enjoyed it with his marefriend and he didn't regret it for a single second at all.
Discord looked over and smiled. He could tell that his friend was happy. He wasn't actually jealous of Spike, if anything he was super happy about it. He could see the potential in the two. Although, he knew that Fluttershy has always been crazy when it has come to Spike. "Missing her?" Discord asked, as Spike looked at him and nodded with a smile on his face. Big Mac chuckled.
"Spike, you sure are a romeo." Big Mac said, making Spike laugh. It was true, Spike really was a romeo. He had somehow catched Fluttershy's attention easily, and he was surprised by how he had done it. His friends and crew were the ones who knew that Spike and Fluttershy were together, and they were happy for him. They wanted to see him happy and not sad and lonely.
"Yeah, well, I guess i comes with my good looks." Spike joked, making the three laugh like hyenas. Discord did his best to keep focused on the road. Big Mac had tears in his eyes from laughter. It had been a while since Spike cracked a joke like that, and it was nice to see that nothing has changed.
"Anyways, gonna relax for Hearts Warming?" Discord asked, making Spike and Big Mac nod. They were still gonna work, but they were only going to be taking in orders and nothing else. Spike was looking forward in spending Hearts Warming with Fluttershy who was also feeling the same way. Twilight had invited him to come to Canterlot and celebrate with her family, or their family, but Spike declined. He said that he was gonna be busy and she had sighed and walked away.
"Yeah, it's gonna be great. Not feeling the adrenaline kick in because someone is shooting at you for whatever reason. It's gonna be nice to simply sit down and relax. I really need to calm down." Spike said, more to himself than the others. They nodded to him in understanding. They felt the same, and would be happy to calm down for at least a few days.
Discord continued to drive until they reached Ponyville, which stood proud and tall with all the new buildings. Spike's headquarters was in the middle of Ponyville, and was across the street from Mayor Mare's office. The building was made from black metal and was enchanted by magic to make it even steadier. The front looked pretty much like an office building, with many windows and a large garage that lead to a parking lot. Discord enterd Ponyville, and drove on the roads that was designed for cars and other vehicles. There were some other ponies and creatures driving, and Spike looked out to see the Cake's outside promoting for Sugarcube Corner. They saw him and waved. Spike waved back with a smile on his face.
He had invested into their business, and made sure that they got the promotions they in all honesty deserve. Discord used his magic to open the garage doors, and he drove inside, followed by the CMC and Garble an his gang. The parking lot had a lot of different cars and other vehicles that they had collected and decided to sell in due time. Most of the cars were expensive as Tartarus, but it was worth it. Spike and his crew was gonna earn a lot of money.
Discord parked the van in a section designated for their own personal vehicles. Spike got out with his gun to the side. He shut the door and saw how the CMC and Garble and his gang parked their vans beside their own vans. Spike waited for them to get out so they could walk together inside the office of Heathspike. Spike walked down the many cars that were parked and looked ready to be sold, and Spike licked his lips. He was ready to sell them, he just wanted to do it after Hearts Warming. He was hopping to earn at least two million dollars by the end of the year. Spike was lost in his thoughts, but he was still conscious enough to know what he was doing. He reached a staircase that was made out of stone, and he walked up the staircase and was thinking about all different case scenarios where he would have to give up. Why he was thinking these thoughts, was because one of the Diamond Dogs had said so to him.
"You should simply give up bucker, you know that you'll die one of these days." The Diamond Dog had said, and it had struck a nerve in Spike. It struck a nerve because it was true. He could die any day, and it would be the end of his reign in the criminal world. It would mean no Fluttershy...
Spike couldn't bare the thought about no Fluttershy in his life. He would rather die, than to have that be his life. He needed Fluttershy, especially now when he was bonded with her. They were bonded through their vampire form. Spike is a real vampire, but he simply buys blood through the dark Web that isn't surprisingly expensive. There were many vampires, all from different races who were in need of blood. Spike had a regular buyer, and that was why he was out with his friend; to get the blood for him and Fluttershy, but it turned out to be Diamond Dogs waiting for them instead. Spike have no idea if the sellers were trying to get him killed, or if they were victims themselves.
Now, one of the good things about being a vampire is that he doesn't have to worry about aging. He would never age like Discord. In fact, he had made his other members of his mafia crew into vampires with their free will of course. They didn't have to worry about getting burnt by the sun or things liks that as those things were simply myths. Spike reached the finale staircase and opened the door to reveal his office. His friends were already waiting there, as they had taken the elevator.
"Sorry for have kept you waiting." Spike said, making the others shake their heads. They knew that Spike liked exercising and be lost in his thoughts. That is what he usually did anyway. Spike walked behind the desk and sat down, he then looked at all of his members. The room looked to be rich, as the desk was made from hard wood found in the Everfree Forest that has been enchanted to never be destroyed. The floor was decorated with a green fire mat that made the floor look menacing but powerful. The walls were decorated with red painted flowers together with gold roses. It really made Spike look and seem rich. Although, he is rich, its just that the room really shows that he has money and power.
"So, they didn't have the blood, and we started another bucking gang war with the Diamond Dogs. What the Tartarus is going on?" Spike asked, them making them look at each other. They knew that Spike wasn't really expecting an answer, he was simply thinking loudly to them. They still felt like they owed him an answer.
"Well, our relations with them has not improved since the first theft we committed a few months ago. Remeber how we robbed the gems from their lands and sold it to jewellers?" Garble said, making Spike nod in understanding. Spike completely agreed with Garble, their relation with the Diamond Dogs had not improved over the months, since Spike became known as a criminal mafia boss. The others nodded also as Grable did make a very good point.
"True, but that was because we didn't really have much of a choice. Although, I will admit, the Diamond Dogs are stubborn dogs. I'll give them that. They haven't given up since that incident happened. That was one Spike enjoyed to remember. It was a lot of shooting, and a lot of driving away from the Diamond Dogs. It was a lot of fun.
"Yeah, so, what will we do now? I mean, what happened to our provider? Doesn't that pony, vampire, give blood to everycreature? I mean, if the others hears about this, then they will perhaps get angry with him." Sweetie Belle said, making Spike pondered for a second. What she had said did make sense, although, it was still unlikely. For all they knew, Spike might have accidentally contacted the wrong number and the Diamond Dogs saw an opportunity and took it.
"Yeah well, we lay low for a Hearts Warming, and then we get back to business. For new year, we'll relax again, and then we'll get back to business and start selling the cars and make some serious money out of it." Spike said, making everyone in the room nod in understanding. That was the best anyone could come up with at the moment anyways.
"Now, Discord, would it be okay if I asked you to try to find any information as to how the little dog was able to get information?" Spike asked, making Discord nod. He had been expecting Spike to ask for a while, and he just got it. Discord *poffed* himself away, and the others looked at Spike for orders. "You all can go back to unfinished projects, and if your done with that, then simply see if there is anything to modify."
They nodded and walked out of Spike's office. Spike was lost in his thoughts and was reflecting the first days as a gangster. It was the most fun in his life if he was being honest, he could do whatever he wanted and earn money. The downside to it, was that he had to always watch his back to make sure there isn't someone else trying to kill him. That was the one downside to it.
"Oh, how fun it was.." Spike said, getting lost into his memories of the first time he robbed the Diamond Dogs.
Flash Back a few months ago
Spike was in one of his many costumes, this time, he was purple themed. Spike was currently a little bit outside Ponyville waiting for the rest of his crew. Apparently, the CMC had some big plan to rob some other gang, and wanted to get Spike's green sign to do it. Spike didn't know why they wanted or needed his permission, as he was sure they wouldn't need it from him.
"When will they get here?" Spike asked, out of curiosity that was clear in his voice. He didn't mind waiting as he was quite enjoying the nature life. Big Mac could see it in his eyes and smiled a little. He knew if the CMC came to fast, then It would mean that Spike wouldn't get the more 'free time' that he wanted.
"In about a few minutes..." Big Mac's voice trailed of, when he saw the CMC van drive towards them shortly followed by Garble and his gang. Spike stood with a straight back and looked towards the CMC who parked a few feet away from them, and got out of the van. Garble also parked and got out of the van.
"So Applebloom, what idea is it that you have for us?" Spike asked, making the CMC smile widely. They hoped to get their idea out there, and make money at the same time. They had seen and heard where the Diamond Dogs lived, and hoped to be able to steal from them and then sell the gems and diamonds to jewellers.
"Well Spike, me and tha crusaders' found out tha the Diamond Dogs, have a lot o gems and diamonds where they at. So we though tha perhaps we should rob from em." Applebloom said, making the others look at her wide with shock. She wasn't seriously saying that they should rob from the Diamond Dogs was she?
"Are you serious? Rob from the Diamond Dogs, that is a great idea!" Garble said, actually sounding serious. Spike was thinking long and hard about it. She did make a good point, about the Diamond Dogs having a lot of gems and diamonds could mean that they could steal them and sell them to jewellers and others to earn serious money.
The others seemed to be quite eager for the idea. Spike decided that they didn't really have anything to lose so he said; "Alright, we'll do it. Load up your weapons. We are going to have to kill a couple of Diamond Dogs most likely. So, everyone ready?" Spike asked, making them cheer at that.
The area that they were in, was a place that had become a meeting spot for a lot of the deals that they did with the other gangsters and dealers. The area had a few a lot of trees and a middle point. You could see in the dirt the different tire tracks that had driven there previously. The grass slowly swished to the side, as the wind started to pick up, and the birds were singing quite beautifully.
Spike, Big Mac, and Discord got into their van, and Big Mac turned on the engine. Spike was in the passenger seat and he pulled out his smaller version of an Ak47. It looked like any other Ak, but the weapon itself had been coloured into yellow that had a gold hint to it. If he was successful today, he'd be able to make his weapon into pure gold. He smiled, he'd be seen as the richest gangster in Equestria. It would be fabulous.
Big Mac was driving towards the location that Spike told him about. Spike had this serious childish crush on Rarity once when he was younger. He slowly grew out of it, and started to notice Blossomforth who had tried to get his attention for years. When she finally got his attention, she got the guts to ask him out on a date. It went well for them, and Spike was planning to propose to her, but she was murdered. Spike had grown extremely depressed, and started to do some bad stuff to himself. He had started to buy drugs, and even sell them. He earned quite a bit of money doing so. He then continued to do it, and made sure that he was never caught. He was good friends with the guards in Ponyville and they never really bothered him. In fact, they decided to never arrest Spike for any sort of reason. That, and they knew he was princess Celestia's son, so it wouldn't have matters anyways.
"Here we are." Discord said, from the back seat as they approached the place. Spike unlocked his weapon and prepared himself for anything. He was in all honesty, gonna kill something that day, he didn't care what it was, but he was gonna kill something. When Big Mac stopped, Spike got out of the vehicle and waited for the others who were driving behind them. Spike grinned to himself, they were gonna steal from the Diamond Dogs, and they were gonna do it quietly. Or well, as quiet as possible.
Spike looked around, and saw all of the different holes that were in the ground. That was made by the Diamond Dogs. Spike knew that their base was down there, so Spike and his crew walked towards one of the holes. Spike peeked down one of them as they walked, but didn't see anything. The others had their weapons ready, and looked with eagle eyes over the terrain. Their foot steps became louder and heavier, which meant that there was a hole previously there, or there was a much larger hole somewhere.
Spike then saw it. There was a cart not far ahead, just a few feet away from them. Spike grinned. "Hey guys, do you see that?" Spike asked, making the others look closely ahead and cackle a little. The cart was filled with gems, and they looked expensive.
"Garble, you and your team take it to your van, me and the others can steal the other gems and diamonds while were down there." Spike said, making Garble give a salut. When they reached the cart, Garble started to take as many gems as possible. His friends did the same, and they walked slowly back to the van that they were driving.
Spike and his friends continued on towards the inside of the Diamond Dog territory that made the CMC shiver a little. Not from fear, but from the sense of coldness that the place held. The walls were dirt and stone, but it looked like a dungeon that was left unused. It was quite funny, actually. Spike swore to never come to these territories again, but here he was about to steal from them to earn money.
They walked down towards the place Discord had directed them in. Spike was relatively sure where he was going, but he wanted Discord to tell them where the diamond and gem lot was. The dirty hallways of the small Diamond Dog fortress was crazy. It was so big! The walls had some marks on them that looked like claws. Spike wasn't sure if it was Diamond Dog claw marks or other creatures claw mark. They continued to walk inside the large fortress like place, and Discord found the treasure.
Inside an opening, revealed a whole room or cave, the many gems and diamonds in different carts. Spike looked for guards, but didn't see anyone. Discord was using his magic to make sure the coast was clear, and he gave them the nod in confirmation. Spike walked up to one of the carts and smiled, he was happy that he listened to the CMC. The CMC themselves were very proud of the findings. Spike walked up to one of the carts, and saw that it was on wheels. Spike smiled. He could get the gems over to his van, if he was quick enough.
"Spike, we can simply teleport the vans here, or I can teleport the carts over to the vans, and we load up the vans, and don't worry about the consequences as there aren't any." Discord said, making Spike face palm at his own stupidity. Seems like he needed to work with his brain more if he was gonna become a feared mob boss for other criminals.
"Sorry Discord, yes, could you teleport the carts over to the vans so we can load it up?" Spike asked, making Discord nod in confirmation. Discord snapped his fingers, and they together with the carts, teleported outside and they were beside their vans. Spike immediately went to his and Discord's van and started to fill the van with the contents. The others did the same, but like everything with luck, you had to face some sort of karma.
Spike had just loaded up the final contents of the gems, when a bullet flew through the air and hit the side of the van that belonged to the CMC. They all immediately went for cover. "What the cinnamon toast buck!" Spike shouted to himself. They were being attacked by some creatures that Spike assumed to be the Diamond Dogs. Spike pulled up his weapon, and checked to the side to see if there were any enemies nearby, but didn't see any creature. All of a sudden, there were several bullets being fired, and Spike saw that there was a Diamond Dog that had taken the lead apparently, and started shooting at them. The only problem was that he didn't see Spike. Spike aimed his weapon and shot at the Diamond Dog who fell to the ground.
Spike ran to the wheel of the van, and started up the engine. He knew that they would most likely lose. But, he knew that they couldn't follow them to Ponyville because of a contract that was signed by them from a dragon gang that has seized to exist. The problem is that the Diamond Dogs doesn't know about that. Although, it is an advantage for Spike and his friends. Discord got behind the passenger seat, and Big Mac was with the gems. That were well protected. Big Mac opened up one of the doors and started to shoot at the area the Diamond Dogs were at. Spike started high tailing it out of there, followed by Garble and his gang and the CMC.
Big Mac continued to shoot, and Spike was driving like a mad dragon. He was driving like a street racer does. He did everything in his power to get away from the Diamond Dog territory, while Big Mac and Discord was shooting towards a few Diamond Dogs that had gotten on their bikes, and started shooting at them. Spike knew that he couldn't simply take them to Ponyville, but what other choice did he have? It was that and use his own playing field to his advantage, or get outsmarted by gun crazy idiots.
Spike looked at the mirror that showed the CMC and Garble and his gang shooting at the Diamond Dogs. Spike looked at the road, and saw that they were closing in on the Ponyville roads. He could use the streets of Ponyville to his advantage. He could drive until he was somewhere in the middle, and start a gang shootout with the Diamond Dogs. It was a terrible idea, but still worth a shot.
Spike drove like a crazy person when he reached Ponyville. Most ponies jumped out of the way, and didn't even spare Spike a glance. They knew how he was since he had lost Blossomforth. They understood his pain, and never called out for what he was doing. They probably should, but everyone deals with the pain in their own way. Spike had started to open up several businesses, and use them as covers when he in reality is making drugs, weapons, repairing stolen cars, and whatever he can get his claws on. He had become rich very fast, and he didn't intend on stopping anytime.
Spike saw all the different colourful buildings, and he was instantly remembered of Blossomforth. One thing she loved about life was colours. Spike felt his anger flare up. He was gonna use this anger on the Diamond Dogs. He didn't care if they got hurt or not. He was gonna take out his anger on something. Spike drifted so he blocked of the road for the Diamond Dogs, and he got out of his van.
Spike took cover behind a bench that didn't have many openings to give his enemies clear shots of him. The Diamond Dogs stopped near some shops and started to spray them with bullets from their machine guns. Spike felt himself groan. The Diamond Dogs may be stupid, but they sure know how to use weapons. He should have stayed in bed that morning...
Spike ran from behind his cover, and started spraying them with his own bullets. He managed to hit three of them, but the other eleven, managed to get to cover. "I hit three!" Spike shouted to his friends. They celebrated shortly, and they went back to shooting them with everything they got. As it turns out, Garble is quite good with a gun. He shot the Diamond Dogs with accuracy. He managed to kill two, and injure one. Spike had seen him train, but this proves that he knows what he is doing.
The last remaining of the Diamond Dogs, didn't intend on giving up, and started to shoot at them with anger and more correct accuracy. Spike ducked behind a bench that was covered by a stone. Spike didn't peek up or aim. He simply shoot at the direction the Diamond Dogs were at. He seemed to be in luck.
"FOR THE LOVE OF FAUST!!" A Diamond Dog shouted, loudly so half of Ponyville heard. Spike then remembered where this gang war was taking place. He felt bad for the ponies living here in Ponyville. Especially, since they didn't ask for gang violence, and here Spike was, creating gang wars that will continue until they one of the gangs die out. Spike was wondering where the Ponyville police department was at. They should be responding to the bullets being fired, but it seems like they aren't coming at all. Then again, Spike usually pays them of from the crimes his gang has committed over the months that has gone by.
Scootaloo peeked from the side of the van where she was taking cover, and saw one of the Diamond Dogs still firing at everything around them. She pulled out her Uzi, and sprayed her bullets all over the Diamond Dog, who fell down to the ground making a pool of blood on the ground. She smiled to herself. It wasn't her first kill, and it certainly wasn't gonna be her last one either, but she was happy that she took out the one Diamond Dog who was causing chaos, and firing all over the place.
"RETREAT! I REPEAT! RETREAT!!!" A Diamond Dog shouted to the last standing Diamond Dogs. The ones who were injured had to be left behind, as there would be no room for them. Spike and his gang got out from their cover places, and started to shoot at the fleeing Diamond Dogs. The Diamond Dogs simply sped away from Ponyville. When they couldn't hear the bikes anymore, they celebrated.
"Wow! That was amazing." Garble shouted, making the others cheer at him. They agreed, the adrenaline felt amazing. Spike was thrilled by what had happened, and would make sure to thank the crusaders.
"Hey, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo," Spike said, catching their attention immediately. All the others also looked at Spike. "Best idea ever. Thank you." The others cheered at what he had said, and the CMC bowed down in respect for Spike. They got back inside their vans, and looked around their surroundings. The ponies of Ponyville slowly got back out of their houses and places of cover, and went back to their business. Spike turned on the engine again, and started to drive towards their hideout slash headquarters. The drive there wasn't all that interesting, if anything, it was normal. Spike parked the van outside the garage door and walked up to it. There was a code that needed to be pressed. Spike quickly pressed in five five, three four and the garage door opened. Spike got back in and drove inside the garage, followed by the CMC and Garble's gang. The garage door was turned of by Garble who was the last one to enter with his gang.
Spike parked the van where the business vans were at. He had several different vans, and he liked them because he could have more creatures in one vehicle and surprise his enemies. The CMC and Garble parked their vans besides Spike's. They all got out and smiled at each other. They had made big money.
"Well, mares and gentlestallions. We made some big money big time. And all was because The CMC used their brains in a Big brain time moment. Now, we can build that Casino we have been talking about!" Spike said, making them cheer in victory. It was true. Spike and the others had discussed about opening a casino in Ponyville to earn some serious money. Now that they had the gems for it, they could literally open probably one of the biggest casino's in Equestria. That was gonna be a proud moment.
Spike opened up the back of the van, and saw all of the gems. He smiled, it was truly a sight a see, several shiny gems pulled up together, it was a beautiful sight. Spike looked at Discord who was grinning over their victory. "Mind sending this up to the vault?" Spike asked, making Discord nod and snap his fingers. Then Spike realized something.
"Wait! Discord! Why didn't you teleport us back to Ponyville? We could have lost them there. You could have also illusioned that we drove away from Ponyville, so they wouldn't have thought we lived here!" Spike said, frustratedly to Discord who only grinned.
"Well, I kind of wanted a gang war to start, which was why I didn't do anything. But, are you even complaining?" Discord asked, cheekily making Spike simply sigh. He was in all honesty to tired to fight against the prankster. He simply shook his head making Discord wink at the others who also looked irritated with Discord.
"You know what? I doesn't matter, we still got the gems. No need for arguments. What is done is done. So, shall we see if we can get a meeting with Mayor Mare about opening the casino?" Spike asked, making the others nod in agreement. They could already hear that Spike was relatively okay and didn't sound irritated or angry which showed that he had calmed down from Discord's brilliant plan.
They went to his office and checked in with Mayor Mare, who had given them the green sign to already come that very day! It had been a fantastic day...
"It was a difficult day, but it sure was fun to rob those Dogs... had to watch our backs for weeks to make sure the Diamond Dogs weren't gonna shot us for revenge and payback." Spike said, out loud to himself. He then laughed. He remeberd how he watched his back every fifth second to make sure he wasn't popped in the head on a side walk.
All of a sudden, the Black coloured phone on his desk started to ring. Spike sighed. If it was that the Gryphons tried to rob the casino, he'd go over there and rob their organs. Spike picked up the phone and answered with; "Hello?"
"Hello Spike, I was wondering when your getting back here to the Cottage? It's lonely here without you." Fluttershy said, in a seductive voice. Spike smiled. He was without a doubt going to give his marefriend all the attention she deserved that night.
"Hello Fluttershy, I do apologise for having you feel like that. I only have some papers to sign, and I'll be back. We can have some extra fun if you want." Spike said, in a growling voice that made Fluttershy purr.
"I'd love that. See you later love." Fluttershy said, making Spike smile. Fluttershy hung up, and Spike placed the phone back, and was just about to start signing papers when his phone started to ring again. Spike sighed, and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Spike! Thank goodness! We are being attacked by the Gryphons! They won't go away, and we fear that we will be killed. They really want this damn casino! Can you get here quick!?" Spike's secretary asked, making Spike sigh. The Gryphons have wanted the casino because it apparently is a landmark one of the Gryphon gangs owned. Although, because of the criminal enterprise, the Gryphons lost their landmark, but that didn't stop them from continuing to use it as if it was theirs.
"Yes, I'm on my way. Try to hold out longer." Spike said, hanging up the phone and walking out of his office and calling up his team. He was in all honesty tired of the Gryphons. They had ruined the casino's reputation for far to long now. He was gonna put it to an end now. He was gonna end the Gryphon problem one way or another.
"Yes Spike?" They all answered at the same time. When he called one of them, he called all of them, because they work as a team. He doesn't work without the other. For him, it had always been that way, and it will remain that way.
"Hello guys, we have a situation. The Gryphons have are trying to get into the casino again." Spike said, making the others groan in frustration. They were sick and tired of them themselves. They had a shoot out a few hours ago, and now they had to deal with the Gryphons? Oh, they were gonna make the Gryphons run away like babies. "I need you to get over there, and take them all out. Although, do leave one of them alive. That way, we can tell the Gryphon to tell his gang boss that if they continue. They will regret it."
"Sure thing." Discord said, and the others mumbled in agreement and hung up. Luckily, they hadn't gone home just yet. Well, Garble and his gang lives in the headquarters because they didn't want to bother the other ponies, even though the ponies wouldn't mind. The CMC lived with their families, and Big Mac still lived on the farm. He payed a lot of workers to make sure the Apple family farm is still kicking. Discord lives in another dimension that Spike and Big Mac had been invited to multiple times.
Spike walked down the staircase to the garage area, and saw the van that he commonly used. It was a van that had the words; Heathspike on it. Spike pulled out the key to it, and unlocked the van. He walked for the back of the van and saw what he was looking for. It was a AR-15 assault rifle coloured in purple. The sight was coloured in green, and the magazine was black. It was quite colourful.
"Well, I better get my scaly butt over there and make sure those birds doesn't destroy to much of my casino." Spike muttered, angrily and loaded his weapon and got to the drivers seat. He turned on the ignition, and drove of from the parking lot and headed for the garage exit. He quickly stopped to unlock the garage, and locked it again, and drove away to the casino.
The drive there, Spike was thinking about Fluttershy, and what he was gonna do with her if he got back alive. He shook his head quickly. He couldn't think those thoughts. He was gonna get back even if it was simply a slim chance. He looked to the passenger seat and saw his weapon. It was strange... violence is said to never solve anything. But, why does he then feel like it will solve his little Gryphon problem? Spike shrugged to himself. Probably is only that; a feeling.
Spike saw the casino up ahead, and saw the title; Heathspike's Casino And Resort. That was what Spike and his friends had named the casino when they got the land for it. Spike had been very happy that day and he has been making good money since that day. Spike drove into the parkinglot, and could already hear shooting coming from somewhere. Spike took his weapon and took the van keys quickly and rushed into the gun battle wherever that was. He saw that his friends made it in time, as their vans pulled up and stopped close to him. Spike ran to the side of the building, not paying attention to the metallic white colour on the wall. Spike peeked behind the wall he had his back on, and saw that there were probably over twenty Gryphons. Spike sighed. It was gonna be a long day.
Spike jumped from the wall, and pulled up his weapon and started spraying the Gryphons with bullets. They yelled out in surprise, and started to look for cover or just jump to the ground. Spike managed to down two at least. Spike took cover again, and felt how pieces of the metal was getting hit with bullets from his enemies. Garble rushed up to Spike and shouted; "They are the only ones here! No surprises this time it seems!" Spike nodded at him.
Spike rushed from his cover and was in the middle of the open, and sprayed a Gryphon with bullets who had been hiding behind a grey car. The car had been parked near the back exit of the casino; only used by the employees. Spike cackled, and continued to spray his bullets around. He was in no mood to negotiate with them. Spike took cover again, and allowed the others to have a go with them. Discord pulled out two Uzi's and started to blast them away. Big Mac had a double barrel shotgun, and had popped several heads already. The CMC used AK 47's and were injuring several Gryphons. Garble and his gang was using submachine guns.
Spike felt anger flare up, and he jumped from his cover one last time, and started seeing this as the final battle. He was gonna win this battle and he would strike fear in his enemies. He didn't go back for cover. He walked slowly forward, with his gun shooting out bullet after bullet. Spike then heard the; *CLICK* And reloaded quickly. The Gryphons had seen it as an opportunity to strike, but it was simply not their day. Spike sprayed at least two of them dead, and injured a third. His friends had taken the others out, and it surprised Spike. There was only one Gryphon left, and the others were wither badly injured or dead. He gave up and walked towards Spike and got on the ground.
"I-i give up. Do whatever you want with me." The Gryphon said, making Spike grin in victory. He was gonna use this to his advantage. He pulled out a pistol from his jacket and aimed it inside his mouth. The Gryphon didn't even look up. He simply obliged.
"You will tell Gilda; that if she continues to try to take over the casino, then she won't see the day she gets married. Is that understood?" Spike asked, with malice and the Gryphon nodded. He then flew of after Spike had shooed him away. Spike sighed, as he looked at all of the property damage. He had money for it of course, but it sure was annoying as Tartarus that he doesn't have insurance. Then again, he doesn't exactly want to pay for it either.
"Faust's sakes! This will be expensive. Oh well, at least they didn't get the casino." Spike said, and the others nodded in agreement. It was better then losing the casino. Spike pulled out a cell phone that he had on him but rarely used. He called his secretary's number to let him know that the Gryphons are gone.
"Boss?" His secretary asked, sounding unsure. Spike sighed in relief. He didn't know what he'd do if it turns out that his secretary was dead. Spike then chuckled a little into the phone.
"Yes its me, I'm alive and well. The Gryphons are gone. For good this time, hopefully." Spike
said, making his secretary sigh in relief. He didn't know how many times he had taken cover because the Gryphons wants the casino that is on their old land that is owned by his boss.
"Thank Faust. So its safe to come out now?" His secretary asked, making Spike chuckle a little. His secretary wasn't one for gun violence, but he sure is good at his job. Spike gave him a quick 'yes' in response, and hung up the phone. He loked around and saw the dead bodies of the different Gryphons. Spike sighed. He would need to pay the Ponyville Police Department if he was gonna get the bodies away.
Spike walked towards his van, while the CMC and Garble and his gang did their best to take the dead bodies into one pile for when the police gets there. Spike smiled. They knew what he had though without him saying a word. That just means how close they really are as a family. Spike saw that Discord and Big Mac was by his van waiting for him. Spike walked up to them and gave them a bro group hug.
"We have gotten rid of our Gryphon problem now. That's something." Spike said, making Big Mac and Discord smile at him in confirmation. "So, is there anything important to discuss?"
"Yes actually," Discord said, catching Spike's attention. "Spike, I managed to find out how the Diamond Dogs found out about our affairs. It turns out, that Blueprick has been the one to give information to the Diamond Dogs. You see, whenever you had stayed at Canterlot Castle, he had snuck into your room and looked for anything to use against you, and found our files. He would then dress up as a common pony and travel to Ponyville to give the Diamond Dogs information about our affairs and hope that you die."
Spike was speechless. He knew that his good for nothing cousin could go low sometimes, but that was low even for him. Spike then felt a flare of anger in him. Blueblood would pay. He was gonna regret that he ever betrayed Spike like that. They may have never seen eye to eye, but they were still cousins.... were.
"Well, let's see what Basilisk venom does to a pony body." Spike said, making the other two grin at him. Spike got into his van and started the engine. He was gonna sneak into the kitchen and place the Basilisk venom inside Bluebloods food and Spike would just pretend like he didn't know what had happened. Although, his mother and aunt might know it was him, but wouldn't say anything if Spike explained what Blueblood had done. Then again, Blueblood is a prince and if they found out it was Spike, they would want to hang him, which would force Celestia to say that he is a prince to. It would either be a huge shock for everypony for those who didn't know, or a major scandal.
Spike drove away from the casino and decided to head straight for Fluttershy's Cottage. He saw on his watch how late it was getting. Spike was lost in his thoughts, but he still looked on the road, and payed rapid attention to everything around him so he didn't cause any accidents. The road was empty of any other cars, and Spike drove a little faster then what was allowed. Then again, he didn't care. It was his town, he could do whatever he liked. He pulled out a cigar that was replaced with weed instead. Spike used his fire breath to light it. Spike took in the smoke and felt how his head became fuzzy. Spike started to grin. His red eyes would reveal that he has been high to his marefriend. Although, he knew that she wouldn't do anything to stop him.
Spike started getting closer to the cottage, and he was getting close to finishing his cigar. Spike took in the weed smoke in his lungs and smiled. He was high, but it would be great sex. He could feel it. What was he thinking? He knew that it would be great! He had it before with Fluttershy and it had felt absolutely amazing. It helped him relax, and Fluttershy was kind enough to provide him with narcotics whenever he needed to relax properly.
Spike took in the last of the weed and rolled down the window. He threw out the cigar, and saw how it landed on the ground. Spike then parked his van five feet away from Fluttershy's Cottage. Spike turned of the engine and got out of the van. He placed the weapon in the backseat of the van, and closed and locked the van. Spike then walked up to Fluttershy's Cottage and knocked on the door.
Fluttershy answered the door, and she revealed herself to Spike. She was completely nude. Her body had grown since Spike's first time with her. Her hips had become wider, and her breasts had become more shaped. Spike smiled at her as he looked into her eyes. He was so mesmerised by them. Her fangs were lovely to. She was a vampire. Not a bat-pony, but a real vampire that needs blood to survive. She had turned Spike into one aswell, but Spike had never told anypony except for his friends in the Heathspike crew. He couldn't afford to let anypony else know of his secret.
"Welcome home Spike." Fluttershy said, as she grabbed him by the side of his arms and forced him inside. Spike smiled as he was lead to the kitchen. Spike could hear his stomach growl as he realized he hadn't eaten all day. He had a tendency of doing that without realising it. It wasn't good for his health, but he got a lot more done that way. His crew members and Fluttershy has to literally force him to eat if they want him to eat something. Spike usually does eat then, but only so he could quickly get back to work again. He was a workaholic in other words. Spike sat down on the chair that Fluttershy had pulled out for him.
"I made something special just for you, and I think you'll like it." Fluttershy said, making Spike smile at her. She is such a good cook, and has always wondered why she didn't join the chefs in Ponyville, but then always remember that she doesn't do well under stress. Fluttershy went to the counter and took two plates. One for herself and one for Spike. It was revealed to be gem meat.
"Oh yes, thank you love." Spike said, making Fluttershy beam at him. She really loves it when Spike compliments her. The gem meat isn't an actual meat, it is just called that because it smells, looks, and feels like meat. But, it isn't. It's a gem that just have the appearance of meat. Spike also had fries and salad to his dinner. He had red wine that he shared with Fluttershy. On Fluttershy's plate was simply salad. Spike didn't mind. He knew that she couldn't eat gems, and it would probably taste weird for her.
"So how was your day?" Spike asked, hoping that Fluttershy had some fun while he was away nearly getting killes twice. Fluttershy finished her chewing and swallowed. She looked at Spike and smiled a friendly smile.
"Oh, me and Rarity went to the spa in the early morning. She went to her parents house after the spa. Strangely, Sweetie Belle wasn't with her. Although, perhaps she had other plans." Fluttershy said, making Spike nod. He had never lied to Fluttershy. Not even once. He wasn't gonna do that now.
"She was with me actually. You know how I run Ponyville? Well, she happens to be one of my crew memebers. Although, I think she is on her way over to Fillydelphia now." Spike said, making Fluttershy nod at him. She smiled as rose from the table to kiss him. Spike returned it. They then pulled away, and continued eating.
"So, how has your day been? I heard that there were two shootings today. Was that your doing?" Fluttershy asked, making Spike smile at her sheepishly. Then again, neither his gang or the Gryphon gang used silencers, so they were probably heard by half of Ponyville.
"Yes, were we really that loud?" Spike asked, making Fluttershy giggle at his antics. She wasn't mad. If anything, she thought it was funny. She felt so safe when she knew that Spike was the one pulling the trigger. She would make sure that he is safe from his enemies harm. She wasn't gonna allow him to get hurt by anything.
"Yes you were, although, nopony cared. They simply continued their shopping spree or whatever. They must have gotten used to the fact that you are always pulling the trigger somewhere. But, I can say without a doubt; that you make me feel safe." Fluttershy said, making Spike smile at her lovingly.
They finished their dinner in comfortable silence, and cleaned the dishes together. This was something they did personally together. When they were done, Fluttershy quite forcefully started to make out with Spike. Spike didn't mind at all. In fact, he quite enjoyed it. He kissed her passionately, and she did the same. They started to feel even more attraction to each other as their hormones were going frenzy. Fluttershy led Spike upstairs, and they made-out all the way to their bedroom. Spike could feel his dragonhood becoming stiff and wanted to be let out. Fluttershy could feel her marehood becoming moist, as she wanted to pounce of her dragon.
They reached their bedroom, and Fluttershy threw Spike on the bed, and pounced. She forcefully opened up Spike's belt and pulled of his pants, underwear, and everything that was on him. His dragonhood stood proud and tall. Fluttershy licked her lips, and took in the whole thing inside of her. Both of them moaned lowly as it felt good. Fluttershy started to slowly go up and down his shaft, making sure that her love was moaning. She wanted him to feel pleasure, and she wanted it to be her that gave him that pleasure.
"Oh that feels amazing Fluttershy." Spike said, making Fluttershy grin victory. She was gonna give him pleasure that he has never felt before. One that would make him cry in pleasure. Fluttershy started to move up and down his shaft, and she made herself tighter by closing her legs a little. She heard how her love was moaning more from her recent move. She grinned an evil grin. Now it was practically made assure that he never leaves her.
"Glad to hear so Spike." Fluttershy said, as she continued going up and down. She then started going faster and faster; thrusting into Spike making herself and him feel pleasure. Fluttershy felt herself getting close to her first orgasm and she prepared herself. She didn't even warn her love, as she knew that he wanted to be surprised. She continued, but her orgasm never came, but she could still feel that it was lingering there. Spike was moaning in pleasure from Fluttershy's thrusts.
Fluttershy continued with her thrusts, and she could feel how her body prepared for the release. She knew that it would be a hard one, but it would be pleasureful. She was quite happy with that. She then orgasmed. What she didn't expect was that her body completely froze from the orgasm. She then remembered what was going on, and went back to their thrusts. She felt Spike getting tighter and tighter. She knew that he was getting close. She wanted it, she wanted every last drop of Spike's seed inside of her to make sure that she got pregnant. She wanted his child.
"Fluttershy, I'm getting close. Should I pull out of you?" Spike asked, making Fluttershy shake her head. She had expected that question from Spike. She didn't blame him either, they had never talked about having children.
"No, I'd like to have your child." Fluttershy said, making Spike think for a second. She wanted to have children with him? That was a shocker, not that he was complaining the slightest. If anything, he was happy.
"Okay, well, prepare yourself." Spike said, as he felt Fluttershy thrust harder and harder into him for the final blow. He then released inside of her. His seed filled her completely up. Fluttershy smiled, she was now hopefully gonna get pregnant. "Do you know what the best present is Fluttershy? It's you. You have brighten up my days so many times, I have lost count. Thank you."
Spike didn't pull out of her, and they both fell asleep. Fluttershy had been really touched by the words, and felt extremely happy to hear that from the one dragon she loved. One of the last thing she thought before sleep caught up to her, was; 'And you are my light, Spike.'
Author's Note
And here is the sequel!
This is actually one of my longest chapters I've ever done. I didn't even notice until I finished the chapter.
It had been a crazy few days. On Hearts Warming eve, Spike and Fluttershy had celebrated together. They had bought each other gifts, and Fluttershy was on top of the world with what Spike had bought her. He had bought a ring and proposed to her. She had said yes without hesitation, and Spike felt overjoyed. Fluttershy had bought a hundred year old fire whiskey made in the dragonlands. Spike had gotten a purple glock seventeen by Discord. Big Mac had gotten him some nice new suit's. The CMC had gotten him a garage that was in the rich areas of Ponyville. It had pleasantly surprised Spike, and he knew he was gonna use it. Garble and his gang had all bought him different types of alcohol.
Spike was happy. His friends may have turned into criminals, but they were helping him, and it was him in the first place that made them into criminals. He wouldn't change anything though, as he is happy where he is now. He has a fiance to take care of, and friends to protect.
The other element bearers along with his mother, aunt and cousin. He had received a book from Twilight about martial arts. Spike always knew that Twilight would give him a book, but this one actually looked like something he would read. He gave credit to Twilight, for finding a very interesting book. From Applejack he had gotten a tool that helped with growing plants, and it actually made Spike smile. He gotten a hobby about growing vegetables. He had made a little garden in his headquarters and grew food there. So, he never had to shop essentially. Rainbow Dash had gotten him a book about the Wonderbolts and their history. Spike had chuckled as this was probably one of the few books that Rainbow actually read. From Pinkie Pie, he had gotten cupcakes. Rarity had gotten him bling that had the dollar sign and was made out of gold. His mother had gotten him a book on how to redeem yourself. Spike knew immediately what she was trying to do. She wanted him to change from his ways. He didn't blame her, as he has had that though himself, but Spike was thinking that he was simply too deep in the government slash gangster business to stop. Luna had gotten him a video game that was about a hero who saved an ancient city from an evil spirit. Cadance and Shining had gotten him a potion that would lead him to his true lover. Spike had smiled. It was so Cadance to do something like that. Twilight Velvet and Night Light had gotten him astronomy books that Spike already looked interested in.
Currently, Spike was in his office signing paperwork that he had not been able to finish because of many reasons. Spike had just signed a contract with one of his good friends in Canterlot to open up a Stallions club in Ponyville. Mayor Mare may be the one who is the Mayor, but its Spike that they will have to ask for permission from. Spike may have a marefriend, but he would bring Fluttershy to the stallions club so she could feel like she can trust him in those type of situations.
Spike had ordered fireworks that just so happens to be illegal. The fireworks themselves aren't illegal, but it is the chemicals that is in the one Spike bought that makes it illegal. It had cost him at least hundred and sixteen thousand dollars, and Spike was looking forward to pressing the big red button. He and Fluttershy were gonna celebrate together with the crew.
They would fire the fireworks on new year's eve, and have fun. Although, Spike and Fluttershy with most likely end up sweating somewhere...
All of a sudden, there was phone call, and Spike answerd the call with a "Hello?" He sounded tired and bored. After everything that had happened, Spike needed a break. A long break. But, business was business. He couldn't stop it and wouldn't stop it either. He had money to make in the first place.
"Spike, we have a situation. Gilda and her gang are burning half of Ponyville! You see, after the Gryphon had told her what you had told him, she became pissed instead. In other words, she is after you. She has at least thirty Gryphons with her, and they are not looking happy." Discord said, making Spike widen his eyes. He rushed to his window and looked out of it and saw that Discord was right. Half of Ponyville was burning. Some Gryphons was destroying cars with baseball bats, and other Gryphons were shooting up into the sky.
"Okay Discord, prepare yourself for a gang war. She will not give up until she has my head on a stick, so we will give her something to fight for. Sound good?" Spike asked, making Discord give a quick 'yes' and hung up. Spike walked back to his desk and pressed a purple button that opened up a large door on the side of his desk. Spike walked and saw the one weapon he wanted to use for this.
It was his smaller version of the AK47 that was made in pure gold. Spike took it with a smile on his face, and took several magazines as he knew he was gonna use a lot of bullets to kill those Gryphons. He had a feeling that Gilda was gonna do something like this, but he had secretly hoped for this, so he could have some fun. Spike then took the elevator to the ground floor. When the elevator got to the ground floor, it revealed a marvelous platinum coloured floor that showed a huge black rose on the ground. Spike didn't pay attention to it, as he walked out the door and quickly locked it with his phone. He had bought a new tech system and it was working wonders.
Spike heard gunshots everywhere. Spike decided to got for the closest, and work his way upwards. Ponyville as under another lockdown, and Spike felt responsible for it. He knew that the ponies would simply wave it of, but, Spike knew that he was the one who is responsible for all of the devastation that is going on around him. His gang fighting the Gryphons. It was probably that very day that is the absolute final battle between the Gryphons, and the Heathspike's. Hopefully then, Spike and his friends could celebrate that they had won the gang war. He knew though, that the gang war with the Diamond Dogs would never end.
Spike rushed towards a black car, and saw that there were at least two Gryphons shooting and robbing the place as they liked. They were currently robbing a sofa store. Spike rushed up and started shooting at them. To Spike's dismay, he only managed to injure one of them. He rushed behind a wall that was broken, and waited for the Gryphon to start shooting him.
"OW!! HE GOT ME!" The Gryphon shouted, as he was adding pressure to his knee. He had just been robbing the sofa store, when all of a sudden a creature started shooting at them. He had gotten a quick glimpse, and saw that it was a dragon. He had a feeling that it might have been Heathspike, but he couldn't know for sure. His friend was looking around everywhere to make sure there aren't any nasty surprises. The sofa store had jus that; sofas. He took his injured friend behind one of the sofas, and took cover behind it himself. He had no idea who shot at them, but there would be payback.
Spike was waiting for them to start shooting at him, but it never came. It felt like an eternity had gone, when in reality it was only two minutes. Spike the came to the conclusion that they wanted him to come to them. Spike smiled. He was gonna have a lot of fun today it looked like. Spike crouched as he left the safety of the reb brick wall, and looked around inside the sofa store. He didn't notice anything odd until; *PEW* A bullet hit the wood beside Spike's head. Spike immediately took cover behind a green coloured sofa. He could hear how there was some talking. Spike didn't know what they were saying as his ears were ringing from the bullet that had nearly shot his head of.
Spike rushed from his cover and started to spray bullets around the store, trying to hit the Gryphons. He heard a quick 'EEP' and he shot in that direction. The problem was; the sofa the Gryphons were hiding behind had metal inside the sofa. So Spike only hit the metal; not the Gryphons. Spike growled in frustration, and took cover behind a sofa.
"You think that you've won this?" The Gryphon asked, who wasn't injured. "Well, guess what? You will never win! The Gryphons will take back their land and your casino. You will surrender!" Spike couldn't help but laugh at that part. Spike was never one to surrender. In fact, a lot of gangster always commented on that fact. He was actually the reason he was so successful; because he never gave up.
"In your dreams feather face. The Heathspike's will always win. I will cut Gilda's throat, and you will see that she is nothing more but a coward who hides behind other Gryphons." Spike said, earning angry growls from the two Gryphons. How dare he make their fearless leader sound like a weakling? The uninjured Gryphon rushed from his cover, and started spraying bullets all over the place. Spike was on the floor, praying that he didn't get hit. Luckily he didn't, and he rushed from cover to shoot the Gryphon who tried to make a run for the sofa, but was gunned down with at least ten bullets. His injured friend yelled in surprise.
Spike walked towards the sofa, and saw the injured Gryphon. Spike smiled down at him. It wasn't a friendly smile. It was a evil smile. One that the Gryphon wished he hadn't seen. Spike pulled out his pistol from his gun holster inside his jacket. He then armed it and aimed right at the Gryphons head. The Gryphon himself closed his eyes. *BANG* The bullet was heard in the whole of Ponyville. Or it felt like it for Spike. He looked down at the dead body of the useless Gryphon, and sighed. This was only the beginning, and Spike had a feeling that it would be a long day.
Spike walked out of the sofa store, and looked around. There were havoc everywhere in Ponyville. There were vehicles burning here and there, and there were body of Gryphons. Luckily, there were no pony casualties, or one of his crews casualties. He couldn't lose his friends in this final gang war. He though that it was the end last week when he threatened Gilda with losing her head, but apparently it only provocted her. It wouldn't have mattered either way, she would have still been pissed at Spike so it was probably best to simply go on with the gang war.
All of a sudden, Spike heard a; "WHAT THE TARTARUS!?" And it sounded like Garble. Spike ran towards the sounds of gun fire, and when he reached his destination he could have gone to Tartarus willingly. The buildings were completely destroyed, and there were different bodies of fillies and colts. Spike felt extreme anger in his heart. Oh, he was gonna end this gang war alright. With Gilda's blood all over him...
He saw that Garble was fighting with his gang against a few Gryphons. Spike ran to help them with their problem, and noticed how Gilda was one of them. Spike smiled evilly. He was going to gut her alive. Spike started shooting the Gryphons with such speed and anger, that they were hit with accuracy of a hawk. But, they were only injured, they weren't killed from Spike's bullets like he wanted. Gilda looked in his direction and scowled. Here was the one dragon who had made her life difficult. Now it was payback time.
"Hello Spike, looks like you are still alive." Gilda said, with malice in her voice. She had never liked Spike, and now she had a perfect excuse to kill him. She would get away with it of course, or that is what she believes anyways. If she knew that Spike was a prince, then she would be thinking differently. Spike simply grinned at her an unpleasant grin that actually made her shiver.
"Hello Gilda. It looks like I'm still alive yes, perhaps you should train your Gryphons to use weapons, then just give it to them and let them learn in battle how they work. Then again, you've never had a brain to begin with." Spike said, coldly towards Gilda, who sneered at him. He would be eating up his words, was what Gilda was thinking in her mind.
Spike started spraying bullets, and to Gilda's surpise; hit her right in the arm. She cried out in pain, and two of her Gryphons went to her rescue. She loked at her fighting Gryphons who had started to fire of their bullets. "KILL THEM, DON'T LET ANYONE OF THEM LIVE!!" Gilda shouted, over the sound of bullets being fired at different enemies. Gilda then picked up her sawed of shotgun, and started to run of in one direction. Spike would have runned after her, but he knew for a fact that he would be stopped by Gilda's goons.
Spike took cover behind a car that wasn't on fire, and shot towards the Gryphons who had take cover behind a brown van with red wheels. There was no mistaking the van, it belonged to Gilda's gang. Spike had seen that van in a few locations where he had dealings. Then again, Spike just happened to know all of Gilda's affairs and had robbed from her also. The problem was that she never knew who it was who had robbed from her. If she knew, she would be ten times more pissed at him and would without a doubt have tried to ended him here and now. She wouldn't even cry out in pain, she would simply try to kill Spike in order to make the Heathspike's fall from grace. The buildings nearby were burning from thrown molotov cocktails, and Spike sighed. This was gonna hurt his mother. Especially the part about the dead fillies and colts. That was why he promised himself that day that he would stop at nothing, until Gilda is dead. He wasn't gonna allow her to live. He had enough of her idiocy.
"You heard the boss, kill them!" One of the Gryphons shouted, making them become more deadly with their weapons. Spike peeked from behind the car he was taking cover in, and he saw how one of the bullets landed right on the hood of the car near his head. Spike ducked quickly, and loaded his gun as he realized that it was out of ammo. He quickly reloaded and waited to fire of on his enemies.
"FAUSSST!" Garble shouted, as he had just gotten hit on his right shoulder. Spike looked over and saw Garble on the ground, and he was in clear view of the Gryphons. Spike rushed from his cover and bought his other dragon friends some time. He started shooting at the Gryphons, who were taking cover behind their van, and Garble's friends took him behind cover. Spike went back to his cover, and looked inside his jacket to see if he had a grenade or something. He was in luck, he had one, and it looked like it was ready to be used. Spike took it out and pulled of the small metal string on it, and threw it at the van. The Gryphons didn't realize it, and the van blew up.
After the smoke had settled, it was revealed that only one of the Gryphons had escaped as his body wasn't there. The other Gryphons bodies were there, and looked like they had been cut awkwardly in half. Spike went over to Garble who was applying pressure on his right shoulder with his hand. "Are you okay Garble?" Spike asked, concerned. Garble looked at him and nodded. It just hurt badly. Spike looked at his other dragon friends and said; "Get him quickly to the Ponyville hospital, I'll end this gang war once and for all." The other dragons saluted him and took Garble in their arms and prepared for flying of. Spike rushed to the vans side to have a second look but didn't find anything. He only saw the dead bodies of the Gryphons. It smelled bad to. It smelled like burnt flesh.
Spike then saw a van driving towards him, he was worried as to who it would be. He aimed but didn't shoot, as he didn't know if it was a friend or foe, and they hadn't started shooting at him to begin with. The Gryphons always shoot at someone, but then again, they maybe learnt that they were predictable. The sound of the van came closer as the asphalt on the road made out the tire noises from the moving vehicle. It then stopped beside Spike, and it was revealed to be the CMC. Spike was then motioned to hop in the vehicle, and he didn't hesitate. He got in the back quickly, and Scootaloo drove of.
"Hello crusaders, did you see Gilda?" Spike asked, making the others nod to him quickly. That was actually the reason they started looking for him. She was using some explosives to blow up several buildings in Ponyville, and vehicles that are in the way.
"Yes Spike, ya see, me an the crusaders' were looking for ya, as Disccord and Big Mac are in trouble." Applebloom said, making Spike nod in understanding. It didn't surprise him in all honesty. Gilda has always been the type to think the one who has the bigger weapons are the winners. She keeps forgetting that it is also about who is using the weapon. He had told her that several times in the past but she just doesn't listen.
The CMC drove around Ponyville, trying to find Discord and Big Mac so Spike could help them out. Spike knew that he was gonna be the one to kill Gilda, as he had said so to his crew many times before. He wanted to be the one who gave the finishing blow. They had all agreed to it, as it would show Gilda that Spike didn't hide behind goons, but he actually did his job. Ponyville was in complete ruins, but Spike was gonna help rebuild Ponyville with the help of Changeling magic. His friend Thorax is quite good with rebuilding charms. Surprisingly good. He also helps Spike whenever he can with his gang wars. Spike tries not to involve Thorax to much as he is a country leader, not a thug from the streets.
"There they are!" Scootaloo said, as they reached an open field that revealed six enemy vans, and one friendly van. Spike could see how Discord was using both magic and bullets to make sure the enemies stayed in line. Discord had said that he didn't want to use magic under gang wars if he could avoid it, and why he didn't want to use his magic if he could avoid it was because of the old mafia rules. One of the rules were to not use magic if not absolutely necessary. This seemed to be one of those times.
"Scootaloo! Drive towards Discord and Big Mac, I need to help them!" Spike said, making Scootaloo quickly nod, and putting her hoof on the gas, and driving faster than it should possibly do. Discord and Big Mac heard the fast approaching vehicle and looked at it concerned. Then, Scootaloo did some sort of quick drift, and Spike jumped out of the van, and started spraying bullets st the stunned Gryphons.
"Welcome to the gunfight Spike!" Discord said, as Spike took cover behind the van. Big Mac prepared his pistol, and shoot three times and managed to injure some Gryphon. Spike grinned at Discord who was currently pulling out an RPG out of nowhere.
"Thank you Discord. It looks like we have a special guest who seems to be Gilda." Spike said, making Big Mac quickly look at Spike in surprise. Whenever she had sent her Gryphons to Ponyville, she had downe everything in her power to not go here. What had changed?
"She actually came? I didn't think she would." Big Mac said, making Spike nod in understanding. He himself was surprised, but he had a big feeling he knew the reason. The reason was that she wanted to personally kill Spike, like how he wanted to personally kill her. Spike jumped to the side and started spraying bullets at them, managing to shoot a Gryphon in the throat. Spike jumped back to cover, just in time for when Discord shot the RPG. One of the vans exploded and went up in flames.
"Gilda we gotta get the buck out of here!" One Gryphon shouted at her. The problem was that she wasn't listening. The only thing she was fully after now, was revenge. Spike saw that she was simply standing there with an hateful gaze, and pulled up a submachine gun and started firing at them without skipping a beat. Spike took cover as the bullets fired into the side of van on the other side. Spike was breathing heavily, one wrong move, and he was dead. He didn't know about Discord though, as he is a god.
"Your aim has improved chicken, you can at least shoot at a target!" Spike said, laughing at his own taunt. Gilda couldn't shoot anything back in the day. She simply couldn't. She had tried to kill Spike, but she couldn't because of how bad her aim was. Now though, it looked like she had improved on her shooting. Spike was a little impressed. Gilda growled in anger, and reloaded quickly, but not quickly enough.
Spike jumped from his cover and aimed his gun to the side gangster-style and started shooting at Gilda. He hit her right in the chest, and she fell down to the ground, while the other Gryphons did their best to hit Spike which was fruitless. He was almost invisible to the bullets. Spike continued firing until he ran out of ammo in his magazine, and when he did, he went back for cover. What he hadn't noticed when he jumped back for cover, was that Gilda had gotten up, and one of her goons were driving away, and leaving her other goons to finish them of. Spike didn't know whether to laugh at her stupidity, or feel bad for her goons. The CMC took out their weapons, and started firing at the Gryphons left and right, only injuring them sadly. Spike decided that it was his final jump, and jumped out from cover and fired down at the downed Gryphons. Killing them. There was only one Gryphon left and he tried to run, but was met with bullets shot from the back. He fell down dead...
"We gotta go after Gilda. We can't let her get away. We have allowed her to live for long enough, and the longer she stays alive, the more Gryphons she will send to Ponyville. And if you haven't noticed, Ponyville looks like a gangland right now, with all of the burning cars and destroyed buildings. Discord Big Mac your with me, Crusaders, you go to Ponyville hospital. Garble got shot, and I sent him there along with his dragons. If you see any other Gryphon that belongs to Gilda's gang, then kill them." Spike said, making them all salut to him like soldiers. Spike chuckled a little.
"Discord, your driving." Spike said, getting in the passenger seat. Discord nodded and got behind the wheel, while Big Mac got in the back where a loaded minigun was. Discord started driving after Gilda, and knew exactly where she was going. She was going to their hideout that was located in Griffinstone. It was a building made of black rock, and had a lot of posters about their feared gang. This was it, there was gonna be huge gang war. Luckily, because this is a gang war, the Gryphons won't start a war with Equestria considering that Gilda is a gangster along with Spike and his gang. They simply see it as a war between gangsters.
The roads were first made of dirt, and then it turned into asphalt, and then it turned into stone. The type of stone, Diamond Dogs, Dragons, and Gryphons use. The drive there would be simply thirty minutes if they drove as fast as they were now. Spike loaded his weapon with poisonous ammunition. He was gonna kill Gilda at all costs. Big Mac noticed and grinned at Spike. It had been a birthday present Big Mac had bought himself. "I see that you intend to use the ammunition i gave you." Big Mac said, making Spike look at him and smile at him warmly.
"Yes, I intend on not allowing Gilda to live for any reason at all. This is the final stand we have with her. Today, she dies like our other enemies." Spike said, making them nod in agreement. It had been a long fought battle. It was about time they put it to an end. Discord continued to speed all the way up to Griffinstone, and noticed how there were police officer cars along the way. Big Mac thougt that they would have a shoot out with the Griffinstone police also, but apparently not. Then again, it did have the Heathspike logo on it, and Spike's gang is known throughout Equesrria, and has striked much fear in everyone.
Discord then entered Griffinstone, and it was no one outside. Literally, no creature outside at all. It almost looked abandoned. Spike then saw the hideout Gilda and her gang uses, and it looked like someone was home. Perhaps some Gryphons who fleed the gang war? Discord Stopped right outside the door, with Big Mac who aimed at the door. Then without any sort of warning, Big Mac opened fire at the hideout. The Gryphons inside the hideout yelled in surprise, and went for cover. Spike got out of the passenger side and started shooting at the door and through the open windows. Spike could hear different types of yelling like; "Were under attack!" "I need some ammo," and whatnot. It was understandable as they were being attacked out of nowhere.
Discord pulled out a grenade launcher, and shot through one of the open windows. Spike felt time slow down, as he heard the *BOOM* Spike had no idea if any of the Gryphons survived that. Perhaps they did, perhaps they didn't. Spike slowly walked towards the door, followed by Big Mac and Discord. Big Mac was the strongest, and kicked in the door and it revealed bits and pieces of different Gryphon body parts. There was burnt flesh, and blood everywhere. Only one thing that stood out was that there was no sign of a dead Gilda. Spike walked further into the hideout, while Discord was trying to sense Gilda and found out that she was..
"Thought you had me there didn't you?" Gilda asked, as Spike, Discord, and Big Mac turned around and faced Gilda who had a smirk on her face. "I was actually hiding in the basement, that has two exits. After you exploded the hideout, I simply got out of the basement, and got my weapon ready, and here we are."
"Wow, that brain of yours does work. I was concerned that it wasn't working properly as you always seem to make the stupidest decisions." Spike said, taunting Gilda. Gilda growled in anger and started to shoot at Spike who ducked for cover. Discord also helped him with his magic to deflect any bullets from him. Big Mac shot two round at Gilda who jumped out of the way. Discord then pulled out a machine gun and started to shoot at the wall, hoping that some of the bullets would go through, and injure Gilda. Sadly, when she jumped out of the way, she had started to run towards one of her vans. Discord detected this, and whistled for Spike and Big Mac. Spike got out from his cover, and ran outside followed by Big Mac.
Gilda had just gotten inside the van when she felt how several bullets were fired into the vehicle. She yelled in surprise, and turned the key and backed away from the parking space. "Shoot the tires!" Big Mac yelled, and they did so. Only problem was that they were bullet proof. Discord then teleported himself, Spike and Big Mac to their van. He was in the drivers seat, and started to drive of after Gilda. Big Mac was behind the minigun, and Spike was holding a machine gun and saw that his weapon was to the side. Spike shrugged and opened the door to the van.
Discord was driving at a crazy speed that Spike and Big Mac theorised was with the help of magic. Gilda was driving towards the badlands, and Spike knew exactly why. Because in the badlands, there were no laws. In other words, she wouldn't get arrested. Not that it would have solved anything anyways. They were driving on a cliff that were wide enough for two cars to pass. Discord took this to his advantage, and gained speed enough to be side by side, with Gilda. Spike aimed at the window and started shooting. Gilda yelled and slammed into them, making Spike fall backwards. Spike then regained himself, and aimed down the sight again. The window to Gilda's van was completely destroyed. Spike chuckled darkly. This was his hiding moment. His moment to finally kill the one Gryphon who had done nothing but give him trouble over the last few months.
Spike looked through the sight, and aimed for Gilda's head. "Goodnight Gryphon." Spike said, so everyone heard him. Spike then pulled the trigger, and everything slowed down. The bullets flew right into Gilda's head, and the last thing she thought was; 'He killed me!?' While Spike was simply blasting her head, bullet after bullet. Gilda was dead, and her van drove to the left and fell down. Discord continued to drive, and they heard a large *BOOM*
"We did it! We bucking did it!" Spike shouted in pure joy. The others joined him, and they celebrated with shooting up into the sky. This had been a fun adventure.
Several hours had passed, and Spike and the gang were on top of a cliff that the main six use for their picnics. They were gonna celebrate new year this way. Spike had gotten his fireworks and he planned on using all of them. Thorax had helped him in rebuilding Ponyville, and it looks like nothing happened. His mother was there, together with his aunt and cousins. Blueblood wasn't dead yet, but he was gonna be assassinated today. It was gonna be hilarious to kill the one prick who had betrayed him.
The celebration was about to start, and Blueblood had just left to relieve himself. The others were talking to each other, and Spike used this opportunity to poison Bluebloods beer. Luckily, his crew shielded him. Fluttershy then gave a passionate kiss to Spike. Cadance noticed and felt the love, and looked over at Spike. When he opened his eyes she gave him a wink. Spike blushed a little.
Blueblood then returned and took a sip from his beer. It would take a while for it to effect him because of his bloodline. Spike pressed the button for the fireworks to shoot up. They could see how the rocket shoot several feet up in the air, and how there was a mega *BOOM* that was heard and seen everywhere in Equestria. All of a sudden, Blueblood dropped to the ground. Everypony and creature laughed, the ones who knew about the assassination smiled at Spike, while the ones who didn't know about it, thought he got frightened or shocked by the rockets.
Imagine their shock when the show was over...
