It was getting closer and closer to the new year. There were approximately nine hours left. Spike had bandages stretching around his lower and upper belly. His tontō was in his room under a very heavy spell that only he could open.

He wore no suit or shirt and only wore pants with a belt and nice shoes. He was sitting inside of the apartment in the Millenium Tower in Neighpan. After the whole ordeal in Equestria, Majima Senior, Bacchus and Kiryu decided it would be best to head home.

The sirens took care of Spike as much as he needed to. But he was very adamant that he needed no help. Sonata was the one who covered Spike up in bandages. She was very gentle with him even though Spike showed no signs of pain at all. He looked just so… normal to it.

Majima Senior contacted princess Celestia and Luna to come to the apartment in Neighpan. Majima Senior knew the Prime Minister and the Emperor very well and told them that the two princesses would be there for him. The two rulers simply gave Majima Senior a thank you note as a heads up.

During the flight back to Neighpan, Spike had felt incredibly guilty. He just left Aria in the ambulance without as much as a goodbye. He just left. For all she knew, he could have died! And yet…

That is what he wanted to do when he found out the truth. He wanted to die, to be punished for all eternity. His poor mother…

Spike had to endure several hour-long lectures from both Adagio and Aria about his foolishness. Both it was quite confusing because they kissed him sometimes out of nowhere. Nonetheless, Spike was grateful to be alive. But he wondered if he truly deserved it.

Majima Senior was just sitting on the plane with Kiryu and Bacchus looking smug. His son had managed to defeat– no, kill Discord! The one who is said to be impossible to defeat! How in the merciful heaven how Spike did it will most likely always remain a mystery until the afterlife.

”See Kiryu–Chan!?” Majima had exclaimed on the plane as he popped a champagne bottle that looked more expensive than a University students’ tuition fee. ”I told you my boy would do it! He is my son after all! He knows what the hell he doin’!”

Kiryu had only rolled his eyes at what Majima Senior had said. While it was true that Majima Senior could survive practically anything, every creature still has weaknesses. Even Kiryu had weaknesses albeit, they are things that no creature else except Majima Senior knows about.

If anyone would want Kiryu dead, Majima Senior would stop them. Because Majima Senior had said when one of his men tried to kill Kiryu:

”The only one who gets to kill Kiryu–Chan is me!”

Kiryu laughed. There was some truth to it.

Spike had been drinking excessively and would have passed out if it wasn’t for Sonata stopping him after he had finished his fifth bottle of Sake. The usually nice, quiet and energetic girl had scolded him for drinking too much.

Spike had grumbled at that.

It was very tense at the dinner table. Spike was sitting beside Adagio and Aria who were now protective of him. The marble table had changed its shade to white. Pure White with some hints of grey streams.

Sonata, Kiryu, Bacchus and Majima Junior we’re on the same side as Spike table-wise. In front of Spike sat Princess Celestia and Luna. Both of them had blank expressions on their faces that could give Kiryu a run for his money.

The two princesses were wearing royal yellow and blue dresses, covering their pristine and curvous bodies. Their hair was flowing as if there was a wind in the room that was there unknown to the other occupants. The royal guards were standing protectively behind their princesses and some members of the Majima family stood behind Spike and his gang.

The royal guards by Princess Celestia’s side were wearing yellow good armour while Princess Luna’s guards wore gold blue armour. They had no expressions on their faces but felt very intimidated by the fact that they knew precisely who Majima Senior was as well as Kiryu.

Who didn’t know the story of The Dragon Of Dojima? Well, not everyone, especially not the civilians.

The two alicorn sisters looked at Spike who looked as though he was bored. He was not afraid of them as a lot of other creatures would be in this situation right now. He probably should be, he did just kill their husband and they had just learnt everything Spike knew right now and what had happened the past few months.

It was the goddess of the night who spoke after a long two minutes. Her hands were on the table holding each other.

”So, let me summarize all of this. Hana Wallflower Blush is the daughter of Mirei Park who is the Godmother of Majima Junior and Wallflower had no idea that Majima Junior was her God Brother until a few months ago and was killed because of some papers. Sunset Shimmer is dead because of what happened and got involved in?” Spike and the others nodded at the first half. ”Discord was killed by your hand Spike and for that… I cannot blame you.”

Spike looked at the princess as if he just now noticed she was in the room.

”I understand, Majima Junior, I really do. You may have not noticed, Wallflower until now, but you certainly showed that you would give your life for her like a true brother.” Luna said with some pride in her voice. She wished her sister would be just like Spike in this regard.

Before Spike could answer, Celestia decided to ask a question.

”Where was Akiyama in all of this?”

Spike looked sheepishly to the marble counter. Majima Senior surprisingly answered the question with ease.

”I told him my son was on the case and I told him that he should work on the angle that Spike would most likely forget. When he heard that Mrs Cake was involved somehow he travelled there but I haven’t heard from him since.”

Spike felt alarmed that Akiyama had not contacted them. If Spike knew him correctly, then he would not stop until he gets his revenge. There is a very large problem… Spike killed Discord. Well, it was not really a problem per se, but Spike knew that Akiyama was the one who wanted to kill Discord.

Princess Celestia did not say anything but she did notice the look of alarm on Spike’s face, which could mean that it was the first time something like this happened. She did not want to ask other personal questions but she still had to have to protect her little ponies.

”Majima Junior,” Luna called. Spike turned his head towards her, concealing the fact that he was alarmed by what he just learnt from his father. Luna was not fooled though. She saw right through him, but that was not important right now. ”I must know if the death of my former husband was painful or not?”

Spike and the others looked at her oddly. Why in the world would she want to know that? Why did she want to know if her husband had a painful death? Spike thought about the answer. In reality, he had no idea if it was painful or not. He decided to address these facts.

”I must apologize, Princess Luna. I did hurt him with my weapon of choice, a tontō. It did hurt him severely but I have no recollection of whether it was painful for him or not. You’re gonna have to ask him in the afterlife.” Luna nodded in acceptance, the reason why she needed to know was that if he was in pain, then she would pour a glass of chocolate milk on his grave beside him. It was in Discord’s will. If he did not die in pain, then she would just give a certain black flower that is very rare and expensive to find.

”Thank you, Majima Junior and Senior, for telling us the truth. My sister and I suspected that something was wrong with Discord when he started to be more distant than usual. He started writing more and he was starting to wake up very early in the morning. He would then start making breakfast and then leave to Faust knows where. He then showed up at the school and acted as if nothing was out of the ordinary.” Princess Celestia explained.

Spike bowed his head in response, the same was with Majima Senior. The Princess’ was surprised. From what they had heard about the Tojo Clan and Omi Alliance, they never bowed down to anyone except who they were tied with. Yet, here the Patriarch of the Majima family (and future Patriarch), bowed to them in respect.

This was very interesting for the two Princess’ and the guards now who had seen what had happened.

¥

A couple of days passed since the meeting with the Princess’ of Equestria. They had informed their citizens about Discord’s betrayal. They had kept out the information about the yakuza being involved. It was the least they could do.

Spike had never told anyone of what he witnessed by Discord. He never told them he found out the truth behind his mothers’ death. He did not have the heart to tell them. He suspected his father already knew since Spike had been gloomier than usual. That was saying something.

The sirens tended to his injuries and were gentle. Sonata was a true doctor and made him feel as though everything would be okay. Not that he was dying or anything. He was very much alive even though he felt like he did not deserve to live. But he knew that his mother would not want her teenage son to just come down to the afterlife when he has not even experienced everything there is to it.

Living life is supposed to be something that is challenging but also fun and makes loyal friends along the way and the one’s holding you back are the ones you cut loose.

Spike sighed as he thought about it all. Should he end it? He had in secret, went to his weapon that was a pistol with a silencer. He had put the weapon to his head to the right and was very close to, shot. What he did not know was that Aria had seen it. She knew he was suicidal.

For some reason though, Aria never told anyone what she saw. She was never meant to see it in the first place, but she still never said anything. Spike will say something when he feels ready. She does not want to betray her mate. That was against everything she stood for. She refused to betray his trust.

She had helped Spike the best she could but she would not deny that the scar that Spike had on him looked very sexy. So much so, she had to be restrained by her sisters from not making love with him. Adagio had to have help from both Sonata and Majima Senior who found the whole thing hilarious.

Speaking of Adagio, the leader of the sirens had been called in by Majima Senior and was speaking to him at the very moment. Majima Senior was in the office with the girl and had poured himself a whiskey. When you run a family of two to three thousand it can be very tiring especially when you have to beat the living shot out of punks who show no respect to their elders.

Adagio was very tense from just seeing Majima Senior in such a state. He looked tired but he still had energy. She did know that Majima Senior got up around five in the morning and went to work. She silently admired it.

If you work hard for ten years, then you won’t need to try to do anything else after those ten years. But since the yakuza is not a legal family business they have to do things to ensure that they stay afloat. One thing was for certain on the other hand.

The Majima family were rich.

Adagio already knew that, but what she had not realized was that even in the yakuza world from what she had learned, the Majima family was richer than even the yakuza families from the Omi Alliance and those families who are connected to the Omi are very rich from the petty crimes they commit.

Albeit, the Majima family is known for breaking some Tojo Clan rules from time to time but since the Majima family is making an effort, no one says anything. Majima Senior also holds the position of Tojo Clan Subsidiary. It gives him a sense of power. But without it, Majima Senior would still be considered powerful. Heck, the Prime Minister of Neighpan is under Majima Family payroll.

Adagio loved Spike dearly and hoped she could somehow help to contribute to the life Spike and his family lives. She hoped that she would not be rejected by Majima Senior after everything that happened.

She looked over to Majima Senior who noticed that she was looking at him. He smiled at her kindly. Adagio took it as a good sign. Her right leg was crossed with her left one and she was dangling her right foot to calm herself. It was not working but it was better than doing nothing.

”So what did you need help with, Majima Senior?” Adagio respectfully asked, her voice holding no emotion. She wanted to make him proud by doing so. She noticed that when Spike was speaking to his men that he held no emotion. She knew that it was so that his men did not get the wrong idea.

They needed to fear and respect their future Patriarchs.

Majima looked at Adagio and laughed. It was a beautiful laugh, it reminded Adagio of Spike. The thought made her stomach flutter. It was a nice feeling. One that she cherished.

”I called you in today because I have heard that you and your sisters have had some problems with school tuition fees?” Majima asked, his curiosity rose when Adagio blushed and silently tried to curse his son’s name. He grinned a little. His son could sometimes be careless.

Adagio sighed. ”Yes, my sisters and I always play catch up with the bills and it is exhausting.” Adagio admitted. She was slightly angry at Spike for telling his father something like this.

Majima understood where Adagio was coming from so he did not say anything. He wanted to give them a present, a present that would hopefully change their lives. He smiled at her and had a mischievous glint in his eyes.

”Well, I wanted to give you something. You have helped my little boy, the only thing I have left from Makoto. I would like to pay for the rest of your tuition fees. Do not worry about the exact price of it. Believe me, I have paid for ridiculous things for the most ridiculous prices.” Majima Senior muttered as he stared at Adagio who looked shocked. She could not allow him to do that! He had already done so much.

”Majima Senior, I–” Adagio tried to protest but Majima Senior shook his head in amusement.

”Dear, I am quite serious about this. I have no problem with paying your tuition fee as a thank you. The three of you are already mates of Spike and he could not be happier. When he stares at himself in the mirror where he has your mark, he seems so joyous.” Majima Senior happily stated.

”Something I have not seen since Makoto…”

Adagio raised her head as she had lowered it from her blushing. Just the other night she and her sisters had some extra ’fun’ to ease other pains for Spike. It was very pleasant. It was also very… wet… afterwards but it was so worth it!

”Okay, thank you Majima Senior, but you seriously do not have to. My sisters and I will manage.” Adagio tried defiantly but Majima Senior rolled his right eye. The other one was covered in an eye patch with a silver snake on it… if he still has the eye inside that is.

”Adagio–Chan, I will not change my mind about this. If not me, Spike will most certainly pay behind your backs. He is very protective of you. Could be that he is dominant. He always has been dominant when it comes to the one he loves. Unless they can protect themselves of course.” Majima Senior stated.

It was true as well. Spike was very protective of his mother since she was not a fighter. She may have been married to a Patriarch of a yakuza who was in league with the Tojo Clan but she loved her job of massaging patients. Spike was always worried if other creatures found out that her husband was a yakuza patriarch, that they would stop showing up.

They did not. They never found out except the workers but they treated Makoto as if she was a friend and they weren’t frightened because they saw how Majima Senior treated her. He treated her as if she was royalty. He made sure she and her massaging company had the best of the best.

Spike always walked to the massaging company to his mother to make sure she was protected. He was very protective of his mother because he believed she was still fragile after what happened to her when she became temporarily blind. He did not want her to be alone with such horrible thoughts.

It was sweet how he would walk inside of the massaging company with two of his boys that we’re friends of Spike. Those two were absolutely loyal. If Majima Senior remembered correctly, their names were Snips and Snails with their last name being Kuzami. They are still as loyal as ever to Spike. They were just busy on a project that they wanted to present to Spike.

”Okay.” Adagio said, knowing that there was no way she could convince Majima Senior who has already made up his mind in the whole thing. Majima cheered like a little kid at a birthday party.

Aria and Sonata we're packing their things. Tomorrow was the day they would go back to Equestria for their six months of studying and exams. They were sad that they would be going but their ears had perked up because they had overheard Spike speak to a friend about giving three friends citizenship.

Aria was shocked. He would call someone just for them to be able to be with him? Aria had been very happy that day and Sonata had been jumping around like a little girl. She did not believe that would ever happen but it was.

Aria put in some clothing and Sonata was packing all her things in a rush. She was very giddy and just then, their leader walked inside and started packing herself. She was clearly, very happy about something. Adagio placed her bag on the bed in the middle between Aria and Sonata and started packing everything she needed to take back.

Aria glanced over to her older sister as she folded a t-shirt. She knew that look, it was when she had earned something and she felt that she did not deserve it but was still very happy.

”So,” Aria started. ”Did the talk with Majima Senior go well?”

Adagio looked over at Aria who looked at her curiously. Something good must have happened if Adagio was smiling. The older siren winked at her with her left eye. Aria groaned. It was one of those things that Adagio would not say until later. It had happened before. Adagio herself laughed at her aggressive sisters’ misery.

”You will find out when we get back.” Adagio cryptically said. Sonata accepted that strangely enough. Usually, she pried until she had the answer she sought. But this time she accepted it.

Maybe because the situation was different? Maybe, or she could simply be too happy about what she overheard Spike say.

”Fine.” Aria grumbled as she walked out of the room and headed over to the kitchen where Spike was looking at his phone with his right hand holding the phone and his left one holding a large glass of beer.

Spike had just made a large bet of four million hen on a specific baseball player. The dragon was giggling as if he was some sort of weird demon. Aria glanced over to his phone and saw a player run across the field. She saw the large bet Spike had made, she rolled her eyes at him. She knew he had money, but if he won, what was the point? Sure, you get a thrill but that is all.

”Hoping to win money I see.” Aria teasingly said as she placed her head at the back of his neck. She had her arms around his waist but was careful to not hurt him. Spike looked over and smiled at her. The damn smile made Aria feel vulnerable. But she liked it, he made her feel secure.

”You know it, Aria–Chan!” Spike said, biting his lower lip. He felt a connection to Aria that he couldn’t explain. There was something about her that made him feel as though he was not alone. She made him feel special like he was worth something. Not just ’The future Patriarch of the Majima family’ but something else as well. That was something he had been longing for.

She made him feel normal. Like he was any other creature. Spike would forever be grateful for that.

Aria sat down beside him as Spike watched the game. She loved these moments she had with Spike. Just her and him, no one else. This was her bonding moment. She saw that the one Spike had placed his bet on was for the team Wyverns Nagoya. The team is from Nagoya.

Just then, Majima Senior walked into the kitchen and headed for the fridge and saw the siren and future Patriarch have their moment. He grinned at them widely and opened the fridge and pulled out a beer. He then headed back for his office.

Spike did not notice as he watched the team on his phone play like garbage. Spike sighed in annoyance.

”Man, If only Shinada was on the team! He actually knew how to play the bloody game!” Spike huffed in frustration. Aria just gave him a look, she had never heard that name before. She was not sure if he had told her so or if he was talking to himself.

Nonetheless, she decided to ask.

”Who is Shinada?” Aria asked. She saw Spike turn to her. His eyes were wide. He then relaxed as he came to his senses…

If he had any of those left.

”Shinada Tatsuo, he used to be the Wyverns strongest and best Slugger. Albeit, he only played one large game that changed the entirety of the world of Baseball. Sadly, he was accused of both stealing signs and some sort of version of gambling. The type of gambling that is heavily illegal in Baseball. Not that I have ever done it.” Spike innocently said.

Aria gave him a look. Spike whistled a little and drank his beer. Aria then raised her eyebrows. How did he know all of this? She had looked through old newspapers but found nothing. Though… it was possible that it was in the sports section.

”Spike–Chan~,” Aria said in a very cute and irresistible voice. Spike tensed. He knew that voice Aria was using. It was one she used when she wanted something. Or specifically, wanted to have answers. ”Would you be so kind and tell me how you know all of this?~”

Spike put on a blank face and looked at Aria with a raised brow but the siren saw that it was crumbling apart. She smirked in victory knowing she had won that battle.

”Uh, internet?” Spike tried convincingly. Aria gave him her puppy-dog eyes and it was becoming harder and harder to tell a white lie. ”Ugh, fine, okay! I… if my memory serves me correctly, I was reading some history of Baseball from the last hundred years and Shinada’s name came up as one of the players from ninety-five. The book held no information as to what happened, but it did say that there were some complications. I searched through the internet and I asked a good friend of mine, Daigo Dojima who went to the same school as him. He enlightened me with some information.”

Aria knew she would not receive more information other than that so she just left it. She continued to watch and saw that the Wyverns had lost. Spike finished his beer and slammed it on the table and grumbled at the loss. He then smiled and in a fit of… excitement? Kissed Aria on the lips.

The moment was passionate but a lovely feeling. Aria closed her eyes and longed for the moment to last. But alas, everything must come to an end at least once. They only ended it when Kiryu had sarcastically said.

”Please stay clear from the table from any activity. I would rather eat there than on the floor.” Aria and Spike parted quickly and Kiryu chuckled. At first, he had been unsure if he should be Godfather but he loves his Godson, especially teasing him with these sorts of things. Spike blushed and Aria was very heard on her face.

”I was joking… but stay clear from the table alright?” Kiryu pressed and Spike did his best to answer.

”Y–yes, Godfather K–Kiryu.” Spike managed to get out and his Godfather chuckled and went to the fridge to get a drink. Spike grumbled at the dragon and walked towards his bedroom. He had ordered one of his men to pack everything he needed for when he travelled back to Equestria.

Spike walked inside of his room and saw his other two mates packing. He smiled at them and went over to his bed near the pillow and lay there with his phone close to his face. He decided to watch some of the news. He wondered what was going on in the yakuza world. Of course, words spread fast, but you can never be too careful.

”Spike?” Adagio asked and Spike lifted his head to see a beautiful siren packing her bags. Her eyes were shining and those were the eyes that he would not mind spending long periods with.

”What were you doing earlier? You looked like you got into an argument on the phone with someone and then did… well whatever you did.” The siren leader stated. Spike widened his eyes. Should he tell them or not? He wanted it to be a surprise. But alas, maybe this is better?

”I contacted a friend who handles… citizenships.” Spike began slowly, allowing his words to sink into their minds. Adagio’s eyes widened with the implications of the words.

Sonata let out a squeal of delight. Aria walked into the room with a look of indifference. On the inside, on the other hand, she was jumping around like a little girl, not believing that Spike would ever do something like that for them. She was pleasantly surprised, to say the least.

The sirens walked over to Spike and pounced at him with their arms raised, wanting to hug the living daylight out of him. And that they did. Spike grinned as he was hugged by his mates.

But there was one question Spike had in mind. Who was Discord’s master? Who was he working for?

¥

Several miles out in the middle of the ocean halfway to Antarctica, was a small underground cave that was not filled with water. There were black stone passages that lead to many different rooms. The floor and ceiling were covered in red stains with some swords sticking out to the walls.

There was a throne room somewhere in the castle, and on the throne sat a creature in the shadows. His figure was difficult to determine but there was one thing for certain. He was planning something big.

It could mean the end of all life.
