Yakuza Paradise

Spike walked out of the airport, his face clear of emotion, the creatures around him were minding their own business. Spike was more than happy to just leave the place and head for the school where he knew the traitor was. Where else would he be?

Spike started walking in the direction of the school. He was grinning from ear to ear, it was not a pleasant sight to behold. He had used his magic to change from the suit he wore all the time to something more fitting. He wore a gold suit with good pants and black shoes and a redshirt. He had pulled out a baseball bat and was swinging it up and down as he walked on the sidewalk.

Luckily, he would be able to fight against the idiot God of chaos and then kill him, leaving the idiot to bleed to death. Or, perhaps he should just give him an immediate death. Since Discord was a God-like creature, it was needed that Spike damaged him in a way where Discord would not be able to do magic.

In theory, it sounded relatively easy if you knew where to damage them, but Discord is entirely unpredictable and hard to kill if the stories are anything to go by. It was not a surprise though, Discord being the god of chaos could do things most creatures couldn’t do. There are many magic users but no one had chaos magic. The type of magic that is immensely hard to control.

Spike wondered if the element bearers knew what was going on. He may hate and dislike them to the point that he sees them just below the dirt, but that does not mean that he should leave them to be confused by what is going on. It was to some extent unfair, like how Sparkle killed his mother, but Spike had to be better than them, he could not allow himself to stoop so low like the element bearers.

He pulled out his phone and started checking his social media. He looked for Fluttershy, out of all of the element bearers, she would be the one to listen and perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt. At least he hoped so.

Spike found Fluttershy’s Mystable account and added her as a contact. He made a few clicks and gave her a call. He was still walking as he did all of this. He put the phone to his left ear with his left hand as he walked past a few creatures.

There was buzzing on the other end, but then there was a click sound.

”Hello?” The voice of Fluttershy came, she sounded confused and tired. Spike checked the time and saw that it was three in the morning. He felt a little guilty for waking her up like that.

”Sorry to wake you up, Shy–San, I have a favour to ask of you. How well do you know Discord?” Spike asked, his voice clear from emotion giving no hints of anger or anything. He did allow curiosity to seep in so Fluttershy would mistake his questions for curiosity.

”Majima? Oh um… I wouldn’t say I know him well. I only know that he is kind and loyal but I have heard rumours he has been accepting bribes.” Fluttershy had been shocked that Spike of all creatures would call her. From what she knew, he would never call her unless it was something important.

Spike would have had the decency to look ashamed had it now been for the fact that Discord had betrayed him. He did not know how to respond to that so he decided to be a little bit more casual in his response.

”Yeah, I have heard that rumour as well.” Spike could have sworn he heard a small giggle on the other end. Spike would never admit it, but Fluttershy was another creature that heavily reminded him of his mother. Her kindness knew no bounds at all, it was just flowing with her and made everyone feel warm-hearted.

”Is there a reason you are asking me this?” Fluttershy did not mean to pry but calling her at three in the morning asking for a specific creature. Something was going on. Spike was unsure of how to respond.

”No no, just curious. Say, did he ever mention anything that would have raised more than one red flag?” Spike questioned, walking into an alley that would lead him quickly to the school. The ground had fit like usual and paper wraps everywhere. Bloody hell.

Fluttershy had to think about this one. Many things would raise red flags but something that would raise multiple? She was not sure, Discord is unpredictable and she does know that he must do certain things to make sure there is balance. But some of the things to make sure there is balance are things she never realised had to happen. Some of the things she learned…

”There are too many things to mention, but I did hear that he had struck some sort of deal with a changeling. He never said if they were reformed or not. He never went into the deal with whoever he spoke to. I just listened in when I was waiting outside his office.”

Spike grit his teeth.

Chrysalis…

Spike was breathing heavily but not loud enough for Fluttershy to pick up on. The girl herself was talking about Discord and other red flags that she believed would pique Spike’s interest.

Some of the things she mentioned like, ”Discord was threatened by an outside force before winter break” did pique his interest. An outside force could be many different things. Since Discord did betray Spike, it was not out of the question that Discord has betrayed anyone else. Spike laughed darkly.

”Thank you, Fluttershy, you won’t be seeing much of him soon. Take care.” Spike said, hanging up and turning his phone off. He walked towards the school but then realized something. Should he head to the school or Sugarcube corner? He shrugged, he had better things to do.

He walked towards the school with not anyone trying to stop him.

¥

The school was empty, there were no students or even staff there. Not even cleaners. Spike walked around with his baseball bat in his right hand, resting on his shoulder. He was walking through the blue floors with green lockers to the left and right sides. The ceiling was yellow with some lamps that were off.

There were posters on some lockers, posters for different universities and other things like festivals and whatnot. Spike snorted at some of the things he saw. Some of the festivals were just plain sex and drug parties. Fun parties, but Spike was not interested in wasting his time as the element bearers do.

Again, when aren’t they wasting their time? Trying to save the world from villains who were most likely wronged by them somehow. Sparkle is an already known murderer, so it does not change anything, but Spike himself is a murderer. But at least he doesn’t kill parents for fun.

Some would argue that the element bearers are needed in the world and perhaps they were. Spike did agree that they were to some extent needed but he knew killers like Sparkle were not needed. They were a disgrace to society, they should be banished forever entering any nation. They should live where they belong, below the dirt.

But those thoughts could get someone arrested, the element bearers are seen as sacred because they were historical artefacts that only chooses the one’s worthy of them. Spike gritted his teeth at that, how could Sparkle be an element of magic? Should she not be an element of murder? The tree of harmony or whatever needs to have a wake-up call. They can’t act the same as the idiot sun goddess, who sits and eats cake all day.

What good has Celestia done anyways? She does not seem to be able to get anything right, her sister seems to be getting more impatient with her as time moves on. Princess Luna uses a lot of magic energy but she cannot use Fighter magic anymore, Spike wondered if it was because she forced herself to be common with fighter magic. It would explain why she was nearly dead unless you are born with it or are seen as worthy by the magic itself, it is next to impossible to learn it. Her heart may have been dark once upon a time but from what Spike had read, Princess Luna couldn't have learnt fighter magic unless she shared a core with another dark creature like King Sombra or Umbra. Spike would have thought about Shadow Pony, but that particular creature is too weak.

’Huh, interesting if Princess Luna shared magic with King Sombra or Umbra.’ Spike thought.

It was always a mystery to Spike how Nightmare Moon was able to do certain very complex fighter magic spells and then not be able to do the common one’s. It would explain a lot. King Sombra has fighter magic but that is because his heart is as black as coal. But, compared to Spike, King Sombra is weak. The descendent of the Umbrum did not even last a full minute with Spike.

Spike laughed, his laughter echoing throughout the hallways. He remembered the face the King made when he was on the ground, looking shocked. No one had ever beaten him like that before. He had been overwhelmed by Spike’s magical power. It was a power that not even Discord or the alicorn sisters possessed. It was the purest and most dangerous magic ever seen and heard off.

Fighter magic throughout history had wiped out entire villages through warfare and other means.

Creatures had been slaughtered by Fighter magic users because of how powerful they were. Fighter magic could potentially be the closest magic to Lady Faust herself! The magic is unmatched with anything else, and with creatures like Spike possessing it, there would be bloodbaths.

Spike could easily wipe out an entire village by accident if he was not careful. He had killed a creature at the age of twelve when he saw a little girl about to get raped by a man. He had sprung into action and this was in the middle of Sotenbori. The man had fought and called Spike several foul names but when Spike beat him up, he had been too terrified to repeat them.

That night, The Mad Dog Of Sotenbori had been reawakened.

Spike to this day, never regretted what he did. He did what he believed was right. He saved an innocent civilian. A young girl, the rest of Sotenbori and the yakuza in it made sure to not even breathe wrong in Spike’s direction or behind his back.

Spike took a right and walked up a wide wooden staircase. He was thinking about his past and what led him to do the things he did. He may have a good excuse, but still. He did not know whether to be ashamed by the fact that he is allowing his anger to get to the best of him or admire the fact that he has done nothing to stop it. It was probably a bit of both.

The purple walls were usually soothing but Spike’s nerves were anything but relaxed. He felt as though he was going to a massage clinic. He was looking forward to the fight but he would get his answers as well. He needed to have answers as well. If he did not receive them, he did not know what he was gonna do.

He reached the second floor of the school. One more floor to go and he would walk through a hallway that leads to the roof.

Spike’s head was spinning from everything that happened. Blush–Sans death, his Godfather who was shot and Spike himself getting shot. He wondered what the hell was going on. He wondered what the actual shit Discord was playing at. What could Spike have done to piss Discord off so badly that he decided to off him?

”This shit ain’t making no fucking sense.” Spike muttered. He swung his bat in a relaxed manner.

The sirens and Majima Senior we're currently rushing towards the airport. Behind them were Kiryu and Bacchus. Aria had explained that when she and Slike were in the ambulance, some car accidentally drove into the ambulance, causing both vehicles to crash. The one who crashed into the ambulance was okay and apologised many times over as if he was about to get sent to Tartarus.

The sirens were keeping up with Majima Senior as well as Kiryu and Bacchus. It was a miracle considering how much Majima and Kiryu smokes. But then again, Majima senior, the father of Majima Junior, could lose his son. Adrenaline was pumping in his veins to the point where he could have run to Mars if he felt like it.

Majima and the ones following him went straight for the private aeroplane. Majima had no time to wait for the plane to take off. The sirens were worried to the point of dread. Kiryu and Bacchus concealed their emotions entirely. Kiryu had to leave his seat, on the other hand, five times to make sure that Majima Senior did not kill the pilot and flew it himself.

The plane was a small private plane. The walls on the outside were coal-black and the inside was furnished platinum. The seats were one of royalty. Aria was sitting across from Sonata. Adagio was facing Majima Junior. Kiryu and Bacchus were facing each other.

Aria was grumbling over what Spike was doing. She was getting overprotective. Her arms were crossed and her left leg raised over her right one.

”When I find him, I will hit him a few times.” Aria grumbled. Sonata didn’t respond and merely nodded. Adagio made no form of acknowledgement. Majima Senior snorted at the front.

”Don’t you worry, Aria–Chan, I will be beating him up with my baseball bat personally,” Majima said, his voice dead serious, holding no sort of sarcasm or anything. Aria nodded. Kiryu looked out the window and felt the plane start to move.

”Finally! I thought I had to beat up the pilot and fly this bird myself!” Majima sarcastically commented. No one responded as they knew he was thinking out loud. He looked out the window to his right and was worried for Spike. What the hell was he doing?! He could get himself killed and he does a stunt like this?

”Bacchus?” Majima asked, he turned his chair to the left and faced Bacchus who was looking out the window. He got a little startled. He looked to the far right to see Majima having turned to face him. ”You know my son in boxing the best, I was wondering if he ever did anything out of the ordinary? Did he ever do something that would seem against the rules of boxing or did he punch harder than needed? Or anything at all?”

Bacchus thought about the question. It was hard to answer. Spike had done many things that would have earned him some negativity but not enough to throw him out of the game. It was really hard to tell what Spike was planning half the time as he was unpredictable.

”There are a few things that would earn him negativity but not kick him out of the ring. He is very unpredictable and I honestly don’t think anyone can figure him out. Half the time he does things that would seem idiotic, but again, unpredictable.” Bacchus noticed that Majima Senior had gotten a thoughtful look on his face.

Majima Senior then asked a question Bacchus hoped to avoid answering.

”Bacchus, how was he when he was angry?” Bacchus looked down at his legs and sighed. He was unsure how he should respond. He knew he had to as Majima Senior was the father and had every right to know. He felt the gazes from Kiryu and the three girls who were mates of Majima Junior.

”He turned into a different creature. He was still a dragon, but he was… different.” Bacchus did not know how to continue. Kiryu frowned.

”How different?”

Bacchus looked out the window, hoping to avoid their gazes for a small time. He was unsure if he should reveal Spike’s darkest secret or not.

”He was a completely different creature…” Bacchus said. He glanced back towards the others who were looking at him, encouraging him to explain. He sighed and looked into Majima Seniors eyes.

”When he becomes enraged to the point where he is more hateful than anything else, he turns into a creature with red skin, coal-black hair and amaranth eyes with green pupils. It is his version of ’Nightmare Moon’ if you will but from the intel I have gathered, the angry creature within Majima Junior seems to be a different creature entirely. Nightmare Moon had traits that showed she was still Princess Luna, but Majima Juniors…

”It is hard to say, the creature is like it was alive but then died and became the anger of Majima Junior for when he was enraged with everything. I cannot say it is bad nor can I say that it’s good. The angry version of himself has zero morals, shows no signs of regret. Has never even shown signs that it felt anything.

”I only got to see it once, it was not pleasant. We chatted civilly, but the creature was very… off. Like a psychopath, but it seemed to know what it was doing and what it was capable of. It was quite scary. When Majima Junior became himself again, he looked sick to his stomach. He had known what happened but made me promise not to tell anyone unless it was in dire need.”

The occupants inside of the plane were stunned. They knew that there would be an upset revelation but that was deeper than they initially believed. Majima and the sirens saw how he was at the hospital. Adagio’s mind was calculating, believing that the creature within Spike was as most active when certain emotions are in play.

Sonata decided to ask a question of her own. She looked at Bacchus for some small determination.

”Mr Bacchus?” The Griffin turned to Sonata. The girl wore her winter jacket and was holding a tontō, not Spike’s but Arias. ”Is there a way to make Spike be back to normal permanently? I do not like that side of him, it is quite scary and to be honest, I am frightened by what he is capable of.”

The other occupants looked at Sonata with surprised expressions. They knew she was frightened by Spike’s enraged side but what she was asking was something considered impossible. No creature was able to be fully rid of a side like that, not even Princess Luna was fully gone from Nightmare Moon.

Bacchus knew the answer but he knew that they would not like it at all. He sighed heavily, Kiryu had a feeling he knew the answer but one could never be too sure. He waited patiently for the answer from his friend.

”There is, but the result could end in his…” Everyone was on the edge of their seats. Majima Senior was quite literal. Bacchus mustered up his courage to reveal the heartbreaking truth. ”It would result in his death.”

Like expected the plane was as quiet as a graveyard, except for the fact of the sounds of the plane. It was loud as all heck. Majima Seniors expression morphed into one of emptiness. Kiryu was on the same level. Adagio and Aria looked shocked and Sonata looked scared. Bacchus himself? He did not know what to feel. He did not want to see his student dead, he wanted to see him alive and live a long prosperous life.

Bacchus looked out the window to his left and sighed, he was angry at himself for having to deliver such a message. It was something only Spike should have done but Bacchus knew deep inside that his student had not been ready. But when would he have been?!

If he never took the step, he would be on the same square. Never being able to find the right moment to tell his family about what he is when he is enraged. But, Bacchus was the mentor so perhaps it was his duty as the mentor to deliver the bad news? He did not know.

”Wha… what do you mean it will result in his death?!” Aria furiously asked, she was not furious at Bacchus, she was just furious in general. She lifted her left leg from her right one and cracked her knuckles. The others looked at Bacchus.

”I mean that he will die if you were to remove it permanently. It is highly dangerous stuff. His dark Fighter magic seems to have taken control of the situation, his enraged mind seems to also be active during specific emotional turmoil.” Bacchus was not sure if he should have used the two last words but how else was he going to describe it?

Adagio, being the most calculating one, looked at Bacchus. Her face held a lot of emotion, anger for Spike just leaving, sad and worried for Spike’s safety, shocked by what Spike is driven by. And confusion, confusion. The one emotion that always was the perfect word for Majima Junior.

”Bacchus, is there another way? Is there a way to make the enraged Spike submissive? That it only appears when certain things happen?” Adagio was not entirely sure what she was planning but she knew she was planning something.

Her sisters knew she was up to something, Aria could see it clearly as the day she was up to something. But from what she could see, not even her older sisters seemed to know what she was planning. Whatever it was, if it helped her mate, she was in.

Kiryu knew the look Adagio–Chan had. He had that look far too many times than he would like to admit. Majima noticed it too but he knew that the girl was not as impulsive or aggressive as Spike. If it would be Spike, it would most likely involve murder and kidnapping. That is what it usually involves anyways.

Bacchus looked at Adagio and wondered what she was planning. He did know that there was another way but he knew that it would never work. It required a mark, a certain mate mark. Like that would happen, where would they mark him if they would be struggling to hold him down?

”There is a way… you would need to mark him as a mate, and since you are sirens, it would be easy. But there is a catch. Majima Junior would need to mark you. If he marks you within ten minutes, then you are destined. If he doesn’t, then it could mean he is too angry. Or… it would mean he is trying to protect you from his enraged mind…”

The sirens looked at each other and did not know what to do. They had planned on marking him after their night of passion but because of the shooting of Spike’s Godfather, Saejima, it sort of got in the way. Not that they blamed Saejima of course, it wasn’t his fault.

But there was one question, how were they going to mark him?

¥

It was just behind the door. Behind that door stood Discord hopefully. Spike stood there with his mind going haywire. His baseball bat on his right shoulder started to feel light. Too light. He needed something to bash Discord’s face in.

There was a staircase behind Spike that led up to this roof behind the door. The door was made of metal with a green light on the top that had an exit sign. The walls were white and made of bricks. Spike’s clothing was rich as always, still wearing the same he changed into earlier. His hair was as black as coal and could potentially describe Spike’s emotions.

Spike was so angry, his mind was gone. He stomped on the door with his right foot, making it fly backwards and onto the roof of the school. Spike walked out from the narrow school walls and embraced the night air and stars above. He saw a grey-skinned creature ahead of him, facing the direction of Canterlot. He looked so peaceful. It made Spike frown slightly.

The ground was a helicopter landing spot that had a large yellow H in place. The rest was coloured in dark green.

Spike walked towards the creature. He was angry at him, he had ruined so much for him. What the hell was wrong with Discord?! Spike had at this point completely forgotten that Shimmer was supposed to be helping him and since he left his phone on ”Off” mode, he did not see the message he just received from her.

”It is interesting to see you here, Majima Junior. I never believed I would be caught.” Discord sounded impressed as if Spike had somehow made his expectations better than hoped. Spike grit his teeth a little.

Discord turned around to face Spike. Much to the yakuza heir’s shock, Discord was wearing a normal suit with matching colours. He was wearing a light blue suit with light blue pants and black shoes. He was wearing a black shirt and a light blue fedora hat. He wore black leather gloves which reminded Spike of his father’s.

Spike used his magic to make his baseball bat disappear. He did not need it right now, he would be receiving his answers from the looks of it. Spike was unsure if Discord awaited a response or not.

”How fuckin’ sad for you.” Came the blunt response from Spike. He had his arms to the side with his hands clenched. He was ready for the final battle. Fighting Discord would be easy, but arrogance can lead to some creatures’ downfall…

Discord laughed. This was why he always loved Majima Junior… he did not care unless it involved family members. Discord did a lot of research into Majima Junior in particular as he would be attending Canterlot High. He found a lot of felonies that Spike should have in his record, but they weren’t there because there was never any evidence or there was money in play…

”As blunt as always, Majima Junior. I should have expected that considering your father is the very same. But that is not what you are here for is it? You are here for answers, something only I can give while I am alive…”

Spike snorted. He could just use his powers to read his mind and see what he had done but for some reason, Spike decided that he wanted to hear it from Discord himself.

”Well, then. I will not keep you waiting. I will give you the long version because it is so much more fun that way!” Discord squealed, making Spike growl.

”Okay, okay! Geez. First off, I murdered Blush because she found out some very sensitive secrets so I hired Chrysalis to kill her. Two, I tried to kill you as well and Chrysalis failed… twice. Three, this is bigger than you and me.” Discord saw the anger emit from Spike as he spoke.

Spike had crossed his arms and glared at Discord.

”Start with the first part.” Spike commanded. Discord rolled his eyes.

”You see, Blush was always forgotten and left out as no one ever noticed her. She had that memory stone and kept erasing everyone’s mind with that thing. But I always noticed. It never erased my mind, not even the smallest unimportant details.

”A week before her murder took place, I had left some unfathomable important papers outright in the open, believing that no one would walk inside and read them. I was very foolish. Anyhow, Blush must have walked inside and seen them because when I turned the corner to my office I saw her bolt out of the room and her eyes were wide when she and my eyes briefly locked onto each other.

”I walk inside of my office and I see that those papers have been moved and we’re in the wrong order. I was very angry at myself but I controlled it. I called up Queen Chrysalis who is an old flame of mine and asked her if she wanted to kill someone for serious money. As you saw, she did. She dressed up as a student no one had paid attention to who never went to the party. When Blush walked towards the bathroom, she had been attacked by Chrysalis and brought her outside to this area of the school. Chrysalis then pushed Blush from this reeling right here!”

Discord smacked the reeling with his right hand. Carefree from Spike’s death glare.

”Over to number two! I needed to kill you for a very large reason: you were going to find out eventually. One of those papers held what happened that day when your mother was brutally murdered by Sparkle… or did Sparkle truly kill her?”

Discord was grinning and let out a sadistic glee.

”You see, normally it would not have been important, but if you found out what I was trying to do, you would kill me. Simple as that. I want to resurrect your mother so she can help me take over the world. What you might now know is that she is a descendent of a creature who is thought to be dead. And perhaps I can see what she says when she blames you for the murder!

Spike was confused as hell. What was Discord talking about? Spike had never killed his mother! Sure he may have had some ”accidents” with some creatures in the past but he never killed his mother! He would never!

”You are a filthy liar, Discord. I never killed my mother.” Spike did not lash out or scream, he said it in an icy tone, one that would have made any creature shiver but Discord just smirked.

”Oh really? Well then, what was it I saw that day then?” Discord snapped his fingers and a large projector-like thing came from nowhere and played a memory of Discord who was looking at…

Spike froze, it was him and his mother. They were taking cover behind a large truck. Tirek was behind them a few small feet away from his ginormous size. He caused chaos and destruction throughout Neighpan, causing several creatures to die. Spike was doing his best at covering his mother from all the carnage.

Spike witnessed the last moments. The young Spike ran from the cover to call out to Tirek. He wasn’t heard. Young Spike looked to the left and saw a large rock. Spike extended both of his hands, using his magic to lift it, or trying to at least. Suddenly, he had a surge of magic power and the stone exploded into large trunks. One of them flew over young Spike and there was a scream.

Young Spike looked behind him and saw his mother badly hurt. Young Spike was horrified and tried to heal her but with a bloody hand, she gave a last caress to his right cheek. The stone had landed on her left leg and was bleeding badly. Suddenly, there was purple magic and young Spike looked up and saw Sparkle rebuilding the stone and threw it at Tirek who caught it in his right hand and threw it back.

Young Sparkle caught it with her magic but underestimated Tirek’s strength. She had caught it but it was still flying to her and hurt her right arm so badly it broke. She screamed in pain and dropped it on Makoto. What young Spike had not seen was that Makoto was already dead. She died by his hand…

Spike looked at Discord who smiled a little at him. Spike fell to the ground. He killed his innocent, sweet, loving mother. He killed her… he killed her…

”You, Majima Junior,” Discord said. ”You killed your mother by accident that fateful day.”

Discord turned around. He would let Majima Junior grieve a little and then explain why he needed him dead.
