Spike and Sonata we’re walking back to the hospital after the revelation. Spike could not believe it. How could Discord do such a thing? He was on the Majima family payroll and yet, he goes behind their backs and betrays them! Spike clenched his fists as he walked through Kamurocho. Sonata could not calm him down but he appreciated that she tried.

It was raining, it was lovely. Spike felt like he had, weight on his chest. It was as if he was lifting weights but he was not doing anything to lift it off. Spike was wearing his suit and tontō again, his blade behind his back near the hips. Spike moved his legs towards the direction of the hospital, the street filled with litter and filth was just irritation for him now.

There were buildings left and right, creatures trying to get customers to their clubs and stores. Spike ignored them all, Sonata doing the same. Sonata was wearing a winter jacket with jeans and her pink long boots. She was looking at Spike in worry. He was not making any kinds of responses to help ease her worries. She has tried asking him a few questions like if he was hungry or thirsty but he made no comments, just kept on walking.

The streets were filled with creatures of all kinds of races and we’re all doing their own thing. When they saw Spike walk by them, they made their way. They did not want to ruin it for a yakuza patriarchs son. They had seen what Spike was capable of, they knew he was capable of doing horrible things if he was in the right mood.

When Spike and Sonata were at the end of Kamurocho of the southern part, Spike paid a taxi driver ten thousand yen to take him and Sonata back to the hospital. The taxi was orange coloured, in the middle of the car stretching around it the taxi, we’re orange and white squares. Spike and Sonata got in the back and the driver took off towards the hospital.

On their way there, Sonata kept glancing towards Spike. He was sitting to the right behind the driver and Sonata was sitting to the left. Her hands were on her thighs, her mind going over what happened at Purgatory. The way Spike was fighting, the green red and black swirls coming from his right hand, his impassive look on everything.

”Spike–Chan, what is it that you are planning?” Sonata’s voice was frail, she looked at Spike who seemed lost in thought towards the question. He glanced at Sonata, his left eye showing his emerald green one clearly, shining dangerously into Sonata’s moderate raspberry eyes.

Spike had his left thigh crossed over his right one. His right hand was on his face, his left hand was in his pocket. He was contemplating what to tell her.

”First, I will be telling father the truth. Second, I will try to find a weapons dealer in Kamurocho, that district is the only place where weapons can be found and made. Third, I will make sure you are safe and plan for a confrontation with Discord.” Spike thought about what he said and liked the sound of it.

He had his priorities straight at least. Spike looked out the window and saw the passing buildings as the taxi driver drove them to their destination. Spike did feel Sonata looking at him with worry but Spike had already made up his mind. He would do it and that would be the end of that discussion. He put down his right hand on his lap and clenched it.

He would get the answers out of Rainbow Dash. ’I Will get my answers with any means...’ Spike felt the tontō on his back and his eyes were like daggers, burning through one’s soul. His suit was like gold and his pants were so dark that you could barely see them. The taxi seemed suddenly small. ’Necessary.’

¥

The taxi stopped right outside the hospital and Spike thanked him. For anyone who did not know the Majima family well, they would have thought that Spike was stupid. He was the son of Patriarch Majima, a Tojo Clan Subsidairy with several vaults filled to the brim with money and he took a normal usual six hundred yen taxi. Well, Spike may be rich but he does not want to have bodyguards and drivers all of the time.

Spike and Sonata walked through the sliding doors of the hospital and they looked to their right and saw Adagio and Aria sitting on chairs, trying to focus on their magazines. Spike and Sonata walked over, Adagio looked up and was immediately on her feet. She hugged Spike tightly, her arms around his neck and her face on his chest.

Aria got up from her chair and went over to Spike, hugging him and Adagio. She was not one for emotion, but she needed to show her emotions now. They were worried for him when he just left. They knew he would be safe considering his titles, but from what they had learned, some creatures don’t care what sort of power you have and will do anything to make the others see that they are simple creatures. To some extent, it was quite disgusting.

”Spike–Chan, I was so worried for you! I thought that you did something...” She trailed off, not wanting to finish her line of thinking. Spike hugged Adagio and Aria back and Sonata somewhere along the line hugged him and her sisters.

Just then, Goro Majima Senior walked out with a hop in his step, he was holding his baseball bat and swinging it around. He had a sadistic grin on his face. Spike knew what had happened. He would not stop him though, trying to stop his father is like trying to stop Celestia from eating cake.

”Spike–Chan!~” Majima let out. It sounded overly cheery and angry. The angry bit you could hear if you listened very deeply. He walked towards Spike and the sirens dispersed to give father and son room. Majima’s hair looked like a mess and his suit looked wrinkled. His eyes were red from the lack of sleep and he looked insane.

”Father,” Spike formally said, his voice expressionless. He bowed to his father, putting his hands on his half-bent knees. ”I have information for you. I know who killed Godfather Saejima.”

Sonata could still not believe it. Why would Discord do such a thing? What would he earn out of it? Was there something that he could not resist the temptation off? Questions and no answers. Sonata looked towards Spike. She agreed to allow Spike to tell his father, Spike is just like his father in many ways but one quality they share is the one thing that every creature agrees with. They are unpredictable.

Spike knew his father better than most. Yes, Spike had qualities of his mother but he only ever showed it to his sirens, Father and Godfathers. Other than that, he is true ”Majima Junior” as he is called.

Majima looked at his son with a very small hint of patience. His baseball bat was on his right shoulder and he waited for his son to explain who it was. After that, he could chase after the little fucker and murder them and throw them into the Tokyo ocean. Show them what they do here in Neighpan.

”The one who killed Godfather Saejima did not do it willingly and was controlled by magic to do it.” Spike made sure that his father heard every possible word. Of course, Majima could just kill the creature and claim that he was not paying attention. Oldest trick in the book, yet, useful.

Majima tilted his head to the side, waiting for the full explanation from Spike. He may want to kill the one who tried to kill Saejima, but if the creature was possessed, then perhaps he should let it slide? He was not sure. His feet were itching to move and kick but he did not want to be thrown out from the hospital.

”The one who shot Godfather Saejima was Rainbow Dash.” Adagio and Aria looked as though they had seen an Acrumantula crawl from the ceiling. They did not expect that. They were kind of hoping that Spike was wrong about it but one look said that it was the truth.

They had all heard about the athletic Rainbow Dash. The girl who has made sure that Canterlot High have won two years in a row in sports ranging from soccer, basketball, tennis and probably countless other sports. The rainbow-haired girl was known for always boasting about her victories and how she succeeded. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is unintelligible at best. Yes, the girl has made the school look amazing in sports, but the school is supposed to be prestigious and train all creatures to become fine young citizens. Rainbow Dash on the other hand barely focuses on other things than sports. She has even skipped classes for it.

Was she truly capable of murder though? She may have the body for one and be able to run fast enough but how would that have truly been possible? She is fast but not that fast. Rainbow Dash relies on too much speed in an arrogant way, making it predictable for her opponents to hit her. She could evade for a while, probably longer than ordinary creatures considering she is very athletic and train a lot, building up stamina so she can last longer in battle.

But stamina will only get you so far. Rainbow Dash may be good at what she does, but she has many flaws and everyone knew it. No one ever commented though, boosting the girl’s ego further, taking the silence as an agreement. It was truly remarkable how Rainbow Dash was even still able to be alive. The shit that she pulls are things only lunatics would do in the Majima Patriarch scale.

Majima did no sort of motion to suggest that he was angry, it concerned Spike. What was his father feeling?

At last, Majima made an acknowledgement. He swung his bat down and used it as a cane and looked at Spike with interest in his eyes. Spike also hinted that Majima looked at Spike in concern. Spike was confused. Why would his father be concerned for him when he was emotional?

”Spike–Chan, I know these years without Makoto have been hard on you. I know you hold resentment against them, but you got to remember what truly happened that day, right?” Majima was rarely this emotional but he could not help it. His son was his everything.

Spike sneered at no one in particular. He truly had no idea what his father was talking about. ’What truly happened?’ What a load of bull. He saw it with his own eyes! He saw what the Princess did. The murderous coward got away with it as well!

”Yes, I know what happened that day. Princess Sparkle acted as if she knew what she was doing when in reality she had no idea. She is weak and useless trash in my opinion.” Spike’s venom-filled words made the sirens ever so slightly shiver. They knew he had anger and resentment but this was something much stronger than they initially thought.

Majima sighed at his son. He expected that answer. He hung his head, looking down towards the marble floor.

”Tirek damaged the world–”

”It doesn’t fucking matter!” Spike retaliated, anger emitting from him. Green red and black magic swirling on Spike’s body like a fire that can’t be stopped. Majima and the sirens were wide-eyed from Spike’s statement. ”In the end, it was Princess Sparkle holding the stone underneath my mother who was trying to hide. The Princess is a coward who murders women and children for her fun. She mostly found it appeasing for her to make you and me suffer from her death, I bet she was laughing as well.”

Majima and the sirens looked at Spike with a mixture of shock and fear. How long had Spike been keeping these emotions inside of himself? Adagio looked towards Majima and she knew it. Spike had been holding these emotions since that day. Spike has held these emotions since his mother’s death and only now did it all come out from the large bucket. Adagio looked at Spike and saw him looking down, his face and emotion unknown.

Tears leaked from his eyes as he tried to speak, get hit by his father, anything, but those things never came. His arms were both to their respective sides as he cried for losing his mother. He could still not fully comprehend what happened. All the memories he had were foggy like his mind was telling him to leave it but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t for whatever reason. His hands trembled. He tried to make them into fists, but he felt his hands shaking uncontrollably.

He did not know why everything was so difficult all of a sudden. His mind was clouded by anger and hatred for the element bearers. They all probably voted for the death of his mother with Discord giving them a helping hand. The air around him was cold and sent shivers down the other occupant’s spine, he, on the other hand, felt it like it was welcoming as if it was greeting him as an old friend. Darkness with hints of unforgiving cold against his purple skin. His green hair covering his eyes and his weapons having the itch to be drawn out and kill.

He tried to control the emotion, his fists not moving. He did not want to hurt anyone for once, he tried to control his emotion but it seemed to be stronger. Then suddenly, it happened. His green eyes turned into amaranth red with green pupils, his green hair turned into coal-black. His skin became red. His clothing remained the same but the weapon on his back was no longer a tontō, it was a full katana. Spike was still looking down on the floor as he pulled out the katana, feeling the handle of it inviting him.

The katana’s blade was sharp. It had some symbols in a language-like state, the symbols were all different. It was not Ponese, Hovkorean or Neighpanese. It was no Ponasian language. It was a language that was once spoken by the creature who knows Fighter magic. The symbols were along the middle of the blade. To others, it would look like made up symbols because only those with fighter magic can read it. The handle protector so the katana does not glide into your hand and cut yourself until it was too late, was made of platinum, there was a dragon carved into it.

Spike looked up after what seemed like forever to Majima and the sirens. When he did, they were shocked to their very core. They saw the coal-black hair since before but had not anticipated the amaranth red eyes with green pupils. His face was expressionless. His hands were on the katana as if it was a holy weapon.

”If you will not help me in avenging Godfather Saejima, then I guess I will have to do it myself.” His voice was venomous, his hair was pulled back as of he had poured hair gel. His right hand held the katana as he looked at his father and three mates. His legs were standing straight and looked ready to kick. His left hand reached towards the katana. He placed the left hand under his right one and grasped it firmly.

The white walls of the hospital room seemed to shimmer from the strong lights above but it seemed to shake. The marble floor underneath flickered a little bit from the light above, giving it an eerie aura.

Spike aimed the katana at his father. He was not planning on killing him, but if he had to fight his father, then he would. He was not going to allow his father or mates to stop him from solving the murder of Blush–San or why Rainbow Dash tried to kill him. He wanted answers and he would get them.

Adagio and her sisters held hands together, slowly fearing what Spike had become. Their matching winter jackets that were white seemed to lose colour. Their legs were shaking from the sorrow they felt for Spike. They were not angry at him, they knew he was not in control. They could see that. Rage had taken over his mind and body, making him what most creatures feared to become.

”Spike, listen to me, you need to calm down and think clearly. What do you think will happen if you go after Dash and kill her?” Majima asked. He did not wait for a response as he grabbed Spike’s shoulders. ”The whole world would want answers. We can cover it up but some creatures would want real answers and if they find out it is you, they will want you dead because she is the element of loyalty. Princess Celestia and Luna would need answers because Dash is an Equestrian citizen. It would cause a whole lot of trouble for is and the Tojo Clan and even the Omi Alliance.”

Majima’s face was morphed into one of worry. He knew his son was still inside of there and was fighting his rage-filled mind. He could see the struggle Spike was having but his rage mindset was stronger, it seems like Spike has been unknowingly fueling his rage over the years, making it strong competent. It is like Princess Luna and Nightmare Moon, the difference being that Spike’s rage is the one completely controlling him.

Spike looked into his father’s eyes. His katana was close to his throat. Spike looked down at his hands, then katana. He dropped it, his coal-black hair turned back to green. His amaranth eyes with green pupils turned back to emerald green. His red scales turned back to purple. He was breathing heavily, he had been holding his katana towards his, own father! He looked at the sirens and saw the fear they now had for him. He was disappointed in himself.

He fell to his knees, his hands were hanging on the sides of his body, his hands were on the floor. His green hair was a mess and his eyes were red, not from crying but from what had transpired, he was tired but his eyes did not close.

As he looked down on the floor in shame, he could not bear to look at the sirens that saw him as a monster. Majima looked over at the girls and saw that they were afraid but not at Spike, it was for Spike. They were worried he would do something to hurt himself. Majima looked at his watch in his right hand. It was made from red gold. It shined throughout the room but he only looked at it briefly.

”I was not lying father, Rainbow Dash... She... She shot Saejima thinking it was me. She was under a spell from D–Discord.” Spike stuttered as he looked to the floor still, he did not face anyone. Majima knew his son had been telling the truth, he just wanted to calm him down before Spike went on a rampage throughout Tokyo, trying to find the Dash girl. It was a good thing he said that Discord used a spell on her, otherwise it would have been seen as a crazy dragon who wanted to kill one of the element bearers for no apparent reason.

Majima crouched down to Spike’s level, putting his right hand on him, he directed his face towards him.

Spike looked into his father’s eyes that looked calculating and cold. Spike wanted to look away but his father’s grip was strong. Spike was silent for several moments as he tried to regain his senses. He was also panicking. He was wondering what his father was planning. His father got back to his feet and looked down at Spike who once again looked down towards the floor.

”Majima Junior, you will find where the Dash girl got her sniper from and I want you to get me the information the second you get it. I don’t care how you get it, just get it.” Majima was serious about this. He knew that if Spike did not do anything new would get restless and maybe do something impulsive.

The sirens were unsure if that was a wise move. Spike just turned into a raging creature who was hellbent on finding Rainbow Dash and slay her. Sonata in particular was unsure if he should go alone. Sonata wondered if she should go but it looked like Spike wanted to be left alone.

Before anyone saw his face, he had a sadistic grin on his face. Spike turned to look at his father and he nodded. He would do it, he would find who sold the weapons in Kamurocho. He knew just the place and the password for it.

”Alright father, I will go and find the little shit. But I am going alone.” Spike looked at his father who shook his head in disagreement. The sirens were just about to protest when Majima beat them to it.

”You won’t be going alone, you will be going with Aria Dazzle.” Majima said. His voice held no emotion but, authority to show Spike that it was not debatable. The sirens sighed in relief, Aria was okay with going with Spike. She had no problems and she could keep watch on him. She needed to make sure that he was alright.

”And if I refuse?” The comment was sarcastic, Spike looked so relaxed as he looked at his father who raised a brow at him. Spike put his arms behind his head as if he was leaning back on a couch but standing up. He did not realize that he was unknowingly making Adagio feel flustered. Aria felt a little saddened that he would not want to spend time with her.

Spike felt bad. He was giving one of his lovers the impression that he was not interested in spending time with them. He thought through it, his father had his eyes on him completely. Looking to see what Spike would say next.

”You know what? I don’t care.” Spike turned to Aria who looks surprised. With a charming smile on his face, he extended his right hand, looking into Aria’s moderate mulberry eyes. She was surprised, Spike seemed like he was not interested. Maybe he felt a little guilty? She didn’t know but she would happily accept the opportunity.

She extended her right hand and smiled. It was unusual to see her smile, but this was different. This was something she wanted badly. She wanted to be with Spike and help him with the investigation.

Ever since she saw how Spike and Garble reacted to Blush–Sans death, she knew she would be helping Spike every step of the way. She knew that Spike would be doing the talking since this was his territory to walk on.

Spike smiled and squeezed her hand, reassuring her. She walked towards him and hugged him. Her hands were around his back and she buried her face in his chest, temporarily making her sisters jealous from the major plus side she had.

With that, Spike and Aria left the hospital, heading towards the weapons dealer.

Majima watched them leave, his face had the same calculating look from before. There was something he saw in Spike’s eyes, something that should not have been there. He had to find the answer to see if his assumptions were correct.

Adagio and Sonata sat down both wondering what happened to Spike when he got angry. Was that an effect of using dark fighter magic? Was it normal? From Majima Seniors calculating look it seemed to not be the case. Majima bowed to them with a friendly smiled and took out his phone. He walked away from them, heading outside into the winter coldness against his skin.

¥

Creatures we’re buzzing around Kamurocho, enjoying the nightlife as Spike and Aria made their way through the crowds of creatures. The streets were littered with filth and trash as delinquents, street ruffians, other yakuza and whatnot never cleaned up after themselves. Spike lead Aria through a street that Aria had not explored before. There were quite a few creatures there and she did hear some call for help because some were getting beaten up by other gangsters or yakuza.

Some were innocent and some were guilty. Spike felt bad for those who were innocent, they were getting beat up for money because the one’s beating them up were too lazy to work or did not have money. Sometimes they just beat up random civilians because they felt like it. That is where the yakuza sometimes come in. Protect civilians who have done nothing wrong.

Loan Sharks were known for being beaten up quite often. They borrow money from the creature that needs it and then when a certain amount of days or weeks pass, they start asking back for the money. Usually, if those creatures don’t have it they get beaten up.

There were large walls to Aria and Spike’s right and stores, clubs, casinos and other things on the left side. Spike knew where he was heading. He was heading to a place that had videos of hot females in very provocative clothing and whatnot. But this place had a secret. They sold high-end weapons. That was one of the places where you can find them.

Usually, yakuza buy them from the black market and sell them to other yakuza crime families. For example, the Dojima family back in the eighties and nineties were known for creating pistols. They sold them to anyone who would buy them. They bought the materials from normal stores. Everything you would need. The Dojima family sold those things a lot and made good chunks of money out of them. If Spike remembered correctly, the ”18 murders” that happened by his Godfather, Saejima, said that the pistols he used were Dojima Family made.

Spike and Aria had stopped walking and were just outside of the place. Aria looked at Spike with confusion. Why would he go to a place like this? Her eyes widened as she realised that this must be the place where they sold weapons.

Spike walked inside, being followed by a hesitant Aria.

The inside was small. It was a simple four rectangular room with some shelves of hot females in whatever clothing they were wearing, the walls were white, the ceiling was grey tiled and the floors were wooden. The shelves were aligned so that there was a total of four rows. Spike walked up to a clerk who was a dragon, he was wearing a brown zipper and black hat. He had yellow skin and looked to be friendly enough.

The clerk looked at Aria in confusion but shrugged it off, they could be customers. When he looked at Spike again, he froze. Majima Junior was in his shop. That could only mean one thing...

”Kōsoku sa rete iru shufu Wa imasu ka?” Spike asked, his voice holding a sense of power. (Do you have housewives in a bind?) Aria looked at Spike with no small hint of amusement. There was not even, a blush on his face as he asked! Albeit, she did know that it was a codeword of sorts.

The clerk was shaking, he gave Spike a nervous smile. He had seen Majima Junior when he was angry, whatever or whoever pissed him off better be watching their back if they want to live...

”Yoi sentakudesu, sā. Watashi to kite.” The clerk said, trying to sound normal but was sweating gallons. (Good choice, sir. Come with me.) He leads them to a room that was to Spike and Aria’s right. It was a white door that was completely covered. When Spike and Aria stepped inside of the door they saw that there was another door down a hall and walked towards it and the clerk went back to his position.

The hallway had brown walls and an old wood floor. There was a dim ceiling light dangling in the old air. Spike headed towards the door and opened it up. Inside was a small room with hundreds upon hundreds of weapons inside. There was everything from normal pistols to assault rifles and machine guns.

In the middle of the room was a human male with black sunglasses, a trenchcoat, pants and shoes. His hair was pulled back and looked good on him. When he saw Spike, he gave a smile. Usually, he did not pick his favourites, but Spike was a regular and a good friend with good taste. He smiled a little at Spike even though he sensed the dangerous aura coming from him.

The man smiled inwardly. Whoever has made Majima Junior this angry would come to regret it. There would be screaming, blood, weapons and other things happening and Spike would be in the middle of it all like usual. He was surprised to see a girl beside him though, a very light purple-skinned girl with indigo hair in two pigtails and mint streaks.

”Majima Junior!” He said in Equestrian. He could see that Aria was a foreigner and wanted to make Aria feel welcome even if what he is doing is highly uncomfortable. Who would be comfortable with going with someone you have only known personally for a few short months and suddenly you walk into a secret weapons shop that is very much illegal?

”Sunglasses, it is nice to see you. How have you been?” Spike asked, deciding that he could use some small talk. Aria smiled slightly from behind him, she knew what he was doing and allowed him to. He has had a rough day.

Sunglasses smiled. With Spike, he could be himself and make small talk. Something he did not do overly much with other customers. The others just come to buy his weapons and leave without another word. Spike ln the other hand supported his business when the cops were sniffing around. He was internally grateful. Whoever snitched on him was dealt by Spike because a few days after the cops stopped sniffing, there was a dead body found in the Tokyo docks.

”It has been good, Majima Junior. I have missed you though! The last time I saw you was during summer. I have occupied myself though so it was no problem. So, what can I offer you today?” Sunglasses asked, his voice sounding a little bit excited. Spike laughed as Sunglasses was always like this when he was angry at some creature. Sunglasses was a huge gossip type of person.

”I was hoping you would offer some information on a client I believe bought a weapon from you.” Spike had a calm demeanour as he said that. His hands were behind his back as he looked into Sunglasses’ eyes. There was not much he could see. Spike knew though, that Sunglasses was shocked.

Sunglasses was indeed shocked. Had one of his weapons killed or done serious harm to one of Spike’s friends and family? He hoped not. He would feel incredibly guilty. He noticed that Spike was looking at him and he asked the question that needed answering.

”Which weapon?” Sunglasses wanted to give any information he could. It was not that he feared Spike’s wrath but it was because he felt guilty. Spike sighed and looked to the floor. He knew his friend felt guilty and Spike himself fly guilty for making his friend feel that way. His friend was just trying to make money.

”It was a sniper rifle.” Spike said, making Sunglasses mutter angrily. Spike was surprised, he thought his friend would sit down from the revelation. What he said next shocked Spike and Aria to the core.

”I knew I should not have sold it to Queen Chrysalis.”
