It was relatively quiet morning for the most part. Everything was pretty normal for the father-son duo that was Spike and Blazer Drake. They were simply sitting at their favorite restaurant and enjoying some much-appreciated father-son time.
Spike Drake was a young boy around the age of sixteen. He had fair skin, a slim yet muscular build, emerald green eyes, and spikey green hair. The boy wore a purple hooded jacket with a pair of dragon wings stitched on the back, regular blue jeans, and a pair of blue sneakers. He was eating roast beef with a side of mac-n'-cheese and a Dr. Pepper for a drink. Spike also had a scar above his right eye.
His father, Blazer Drake, was a kind man with the kind of eyes that said that he doesn't get mad easily. A fit and handsome man in his forties, he was similar to his son in terms of appearance. His green hair wasn't spikey but instead was swept to the sides and graying at the temples. Just like his son, he was held an athletic build, honed over years of physical conditioning. He wore a simple white shirt, black jeans, and black sneakers. He was eating fried catfish with a salad on the side and a Coke Zero for a drink.
Blazer suddenly spoke to his son in a very casual voice. "Hey, Spike. You always wanted a little sister, didn't you?"
That question caught Spike way off-guard. "What? What do you mean 'a little sister'? I don't remember wanting a sibling, at all.", Spike replied to his father. Blazer simply looked confused.
"Yeah, you did. Don't you remember? It was ten years ago that you said that you wanted a little sister."
Spike thought about that, trying to recall any point in his life where he said that he wanted a little sister. But he found nothing.
"I can't remember something I said from that long ago! Besides, why do you ask?"
"Well, son, good news! You are getting not one, but two cute little sisters! In fact, they're both meeting us here.", Blazer announced, much to Spike's astonishment. The boy could only stare at his dad in shock.
"What?! I'm getting two little sisters?! How is that even possible?! Are you marrying someone with two daughters?", Spike asked his father frantically. Blazer only put on a toothy smile. Everything suddenly snapped into place for Spike.
"She's a wonderful woman, Spike. You'd love her. Her daughters are quite nice, too. They said that they couldn't wait to meet you in person.".
Spike could only look down at the floor. "But this is just becoming news to me. First you say that I'm getting two new sisters. Next, you're sitting there telling me that you're getting remarried. The whole family's just been the two of us males for the past ten years.".
Blazer looked at his son sympathetically. "Look, son, I know this is all so new to you and that the family is changing, but it's a change for the better. Besides, your two new sisters, they've been through some rough times, lately. I think they'd love to have a supportive big brother by their side. Besides, we're all family now. That means that we have to protect each other, no matter what. Understand?".
Spike did in fact understand. It would be his duty not only as an older brother, but as a decent human being to protect those under his care. He sighed and looked to his dad.
"Yeah, I understand. I just need to process all of this. You did just throw at me out of the blue."
And with that, Spike got up to go to the bathroom to get his head around the whole situation.
He went up to the bathroom and opened the door to reveal something that Spike was in no way prepared for. Before his very eyes was a beautiful girl around the same age as him. She had on a dark purple, button-up sweater with a white shirt underneath. The sweater was unbuttoned at the front to reveal that this girl had G-cup breasts. She had very white skin and dark purple hair that was styled beautifully. The only problem that Spike could see was the girl's light green skirt, which was around her ankles. Her hands were around the rim of her light pink panties. Just like Spike, she was also staring in shock.
Spike finally got his wits together and looked at a sign on the door he didn't notice was there before. He read the sign in his mind.
"Sorry, but the lock on the door is broken. Please knock. Oh, shit!"
Spike looked to the girl, who was steaming red at this point. She suddenly looked like she was about to scream. Not wanting there to be a public incident, Spike ran over to her. He clamped his hand over her mouth and pushed her back against the wall, her attempts to struggle pointless against Spike's superior strength.
"Look! I'm sorry! I didn't know the lock on the bathroom door was busted, I swear! I didn't even know that the sign was there! I'm not the kind of guy who goes peeping on girls in the bathroom! You have to believe me! I'm really sorry about this entire situation!", Spike apologized frantically.
The girl finally stopped moving and nodded her head as if in understanding. Sighing in relief, Spike released his hold on the girl, only to have her smack him down to the ground. Spike rubbed his stinging cheek and looked up at the now furious girl in shock.
"What was that about?", Spike asked. He thought that he cleared the air with this girl, but she was obviously still pissed at him for it.
"You may not have meant to walk in on me, but after you saw me in such a compromising position, you barged in here, put your hand over my mouth, and forced me back against the wall! I have to kill you for that!", the girl said in a cultured accent.
Spike thought at this moment that he was probably going to die over a busted bathroom door lock.
Author's Note
Hey, everyone! It's me. Your new favorite author and supervillain. I noticed that a majority of people who read the first chapter didn't like it. I suspect that this may have something to do with the first chapter being way too much like the first episode of "Testament of Sister New Devil". I will attempt to deviate from the basic plot points of the anime but still include some similarities. If people don't like this new chapter, please let me know how I can make things better moving forward. Until then, enjoy!
Chapter 2
Spike sat there expecting to be killed for an honest mistake until his father Blazer came in. He looked at the girl who was about to hit his son and then to the boy sitting on a dirty public bathroom floor.
"Well. It seems like you must have gotten yourself in one hell of a situation there, son.", Blazer said to his son.
"Dad!".
"Mr. Blazer!"
They both said both of the older man's names at the same time. They both looked at each other in shock.
"What? How does this girl know who my father is?", Spike thought to himself.
Suddenly, they were all joined by a younger girl with light pink and purple streaks in her hair. From her appearance, Spike guessed that she was either in middle school or a freshman in high school. She had on a simple black T-shirt, a black jacket with sleeves that only reached her elbows, a dark blue skirt that reached her knees, pink long socks, and brown leather shoes. She seemed just as confused as the rest of them. Blazer just sighed.
"Well, son, you never really were good at making good first impressions.", Blazer said.
"What?! This ruffian is your son and my new brother?!", the purple-haired girl shouted.
"She's going to be my new sister?!", Spike asked just as shocked.
"Look, let's take this somewhere more private, okay? The other patrons are getting disturbed", Blazer informed them.
Indeed, several people in the restaurant were looking in their direction, now. The boy and girl got themselves together and walked out of the bathroom with as much composure as they both could muster.
They all decided to head to the park to introduce themselves and get to know each other better. Blazer got himself and everyone else ice cream. Once everyone had their respective frozen treats, Blazer decided to introduce the girls to his son.
"Girls, this my son: Spike. He may be a bit of a knucklehead, but he's loyal, loving, and dependable for anything. I can assure you that he's a fine young man.", Blazer said with obvious pride in his son. Spike just smiled at the two of them.
"It's nice to finally meet you both. I can't wait for us all to become family.", Spike said with genuine sincerity in his voice.
The younger of the two sisters spoke first. "My name's Sweetie Belle. It's nice to finally have a big brother that I can depend on. I share your anticipation at becoming a family.", Sweetie said with a sugary voice and smile.
Her older sister was looking down on the ground with a sour expression on her face. It didn't seem like she had gotten over that little "incident" in the bathroom. Eventually, she mustered the strength to speak.
"My name's Rarity. It's nice to meet both you and your son, Mr. Blazer.", Rarity said with strained politeness. Blazer just laughed his ass off.
"Come on! We're all family now. There's no need for you to call me 'Mister'. You both can just call me 'Dad'.", Blazer said with all the love a father should have in his voice.
The girls both looked at each other and smiled. Spike thought that they must be really happy to have a father and older brother in their lives. He wondered what had happened to their biological father. But, he thought it best not to ask them that. They did just meet, after all. Besides, he wanted to try to enjoy the park with his two new sisters.
"If they're going to be family, then I promise to do everything it takes to protect them. I'll be the type of brother that they can depend on for anything!", Spike promised in his mind.
As the day was giving way to the evening, the Drake family and their new additions all went to the Drake household. It was a modest little place in a safe middle-class neighborhood. It was a simple, dark gray, two-story house with a front and back yard with a pool in the backyard. The whole house was surrounded by an 8 feet tall brick wall that was separated by a single metal gate. Once they all entered the house, Blazer spoke up.
"Okay, the girls' belongings aren't going to get here until tomorrow. But luckily, we have two furnished guestrooms we never needed to use until now. The girls can use those, since they'll be living here from now on.", Blazer said. Then he yawned.
"Alright, I'm hitting the hay. You all should, too. It's the last week of summer and I want you all to enjoy yourselves."
Everyone else seemed on board with that idea.
They all went to bed, with the girls picking out their own rooms. Spike went to his room and plopped down onto his bed, Looking up at the ceiling, Spike wondered what life was going to be like with two new sisters.
"I have a good feeling about this. If I can keep them both happy and safe, then I'm going to be content"
And with that, the young Drake drifted off to sleep.
The Next Morning
Spike was having a great time sleeping in. He knew that this was going to be a great last week of summer. He didn't want to think about what he wanted to for the last week of summer or anything else.
But he couldn't help but focus this strange feeling that was now overtaking his body. It was the oddest sensation he had ever felt in his life. It was warm and soft. Whatever it was seemed to be spreading across his torso and abdomen. He tried to ignore it, but a feeling like that is simply too hard to ignore. Speaking of which, he felt his junk bulging in his pajama pants.
"Oooooh! So you are a healthy young boy, after all.", a voice suddenly exclaimed from underneath his sheets.
In a shocked state, Spike pulled off the covers completely to reveal Sweetie Belle lying on top of him! He was wearing a green tank top and long, purple pajama pants, but still. She, on the other hand, seemed to be wearing nothing but a white T-shirt that must've been more like a nightgown, given her size. Sweetie Belle pressed her whole body against his own. He could feel his growing erection poking into her stomach. Obviously, she must have felt it, too.
She gave him a seductive smile and half-lidded eyes. "Looks like I've gotten you up, today, big brother Spike!", she cooed ti the startled Spike.
Spike suddenly picked her up underneath the arms and set her down on the ground. Sweetie seemed to be enjoying it.
"Wow! Such strong hands.", Sweetie noted.
"Sweetie Belle! What were you thinking, acting like that?!", Spike asked.
"I heard that that's how boys your age like to get up in the morning: to have a beautiful girl press herself onto his prone form to get him and his third leg up and ready for the morning."
"Where did you get that idea? That's not how I want to be woken up in the morning! It's indecent."
To respond to his question, Sweetie pulled out a book she kept at the foot of his bed. She held it out in front of Spike for him to read the cover. The cover read "Forbidden Family Bonding: The Uncensored Version". Spike couldn't believe his eyes. It was a hentai manga! Sweetie Belle actually owned a hentai manga! It was impossible for Spike to grasp that this seemingly innocent girl would own something so lewd. And uncensored, at that.
Once Spike got himself to ignore the paperback spank-bank material in front of him, he decided to focus on something else. Specifically, the fact that Sweetie Belle was wearing nothing but a white T-shirt. Spike looked away from the lewd display in front of him.
"Sweetie, you should really put on some real clothes! You might catch a cold, walking around like that!"
Sweetie on the other hand, put on a mischievous grin.
"Oh? Are you imagining that I'm simply wearing nothing but this white shirt? Too bad.", she said in a singsong voice.
She proceeded to spin around like a dancer so her back was facing him. She then jutted her butt out towards the increasingly-blushing Spike to reveal her cream-colored, pink polka-dot panties.
"I'm actually wearing underwear, today!", she exclaimed with a giggle.
Spike took pause. "Wait, 'today'? Does that mean that she doesn't wear underwear every day? I'll have to talk to her about that later. She should really not do stuff like this!".
After her last bit of teasing, Sweetie left to help make breakfast. Spike made his way to the bathroom to brush his teeth. When he opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Rarity in nothing but a towel!
Spike and Rarity were both shocked. She must've just gotten out of the shower. Before Spike could get a single word out, Rarity's foot connected with his crotch, putting him down for the count.
Rarity glanced back over her shoulder as she left. "Again?! If you try that a third time, I'll kill you!", she shouted at him before storming off.
Spike tried to explain things, but she left before he could say anything.
"I'm going to have to get used to having other people in the house besides me and Dad,"
Once Spike was able to walk again, he made his way downstairs. He got to the kitchen and saw Sweetie Belle cooking. Spike wasn't sure of what to make of a girl as young as her cooking until he smelled the food she was making. It smelled heavenly! The downside is that she was wearing nothing but an apron! Well, she did have on underwear, at least. He sat down at the table and tried to look at everything but her. Once Blazer and Rarity arrived, Rarity held out something in her hand. She gave a hard glare at Spike.
"You want to explain what this is?", she asked.
When Spike looked closer, he could see that it was the hentai manga that Sweetie Belle had!
"Where did you find that?!"
"I found it on your bed! I knew your were some kind of sick pervert!"
"No, I'm not! That's not even mine! It's Sweetie's!"
Sweetie Belle put a hand to her mouth. "It's true. Since we're all family, now, I thought that Spike could use a guide on how to care for his sisters."
Spike was shocked. "What do you mean 'a guide'? I would never do something like this! Right, Dad?", Spike asked, hoping for his old man to help him.
Blazer simply sighed. "Look, I know that you're a growing young man with two cute sisters that aren't blood related, but try not to commit any crimes against God's law, okay?".
Spike couldn't bring himself to speak. He could tell that his life with these two girls was not going to be easy. Not by any definition of the word.
After a silent and rather awkward breakfast, Blazer proposed that the family gather for a self portrait. However, Spike a a troubling thought occur to him. He hadn't even seen Blazer's new wife/his own new stepmother. In fact, he hadn't even seen a picture of her. Surely, if he was marrying this woman, he'd at least have a few pictures of her.
"Sorry, Spike, but she's on an extended business trip and she's not even in the country. But we can take a family photo to give her something to look forward to when she finally returns.", the older Drake informed his son.
Spike accepted that answer and went to get dressed for the day. He put on his favorite summer ensemble: a dark purple T-shirt, khaki shorts, and black sandals. He decided to dress casually for the family photo. He walked out of his room to see Rarity and Sweetie Belle waiting in the hallway for him. Both his new sisters looked beautiful.
Rarity was wearing a red T-shirt, black shorts that reached her mid-thigh, and blue flip-flops. The T-shirt seemed to be fitting a little too close for comfort, for Spike's eyes were instinctively drawn to the girl's ample bust. Spike could tell that they were G-cup. Rarity obviously had the kind of bust that would drive most males, and even some females, mad with lust. Seriously, how does her back not hurt from having to live and walk with them? And the way that her shorts only revealed half of her thighs would lead to most looking at her to put their imaginations to use as they could tell that Rarity had very ample legs and a rather nice butt.
Sweetie Belle had a rather alluring outfit, herself. Sweetie wore a a cream-colored T-shirt, a short yellow skirt, black stockings, and black flip-flops. Now that Spike got a better look at her without her previous lewdness, he could tell that she would be seen by almost everyone as a beauty. And she was still growing, so she will probably grow to be knockout like her older sister. She had the kind of small, slim, and petite build that would say that she was both attractive and adorable. When she teased Spike this morning, he couldn't help but notice that her butt was one of her more attractive physical attributes. It looked tight and perky, with just the right amount of plumpness to it. Her chest wasn't something that she could brag about, being AA-cup, but Spike knew that some males had a particular liking for small breasts.
Spike personally didn't care about breast size. As long as he was attracted to a girl both emotionally AND physically, he would be happy and content.
After the siblings got themselves ready, they gathered out by the gate and waited for Blazer to get the camera ready. Spike looked at Rarity and noticed that she had this big smile on her face. She looked at Spike and gave him a soft glare.
"What is it?", she asked.
Spike was suddenly flustered. "It's nothing. I was just noticing that you have this nice big smile on your face.", he responded. Rarity gave a small giggle.
"I was just thinking that this is nice. A picture together as one big family. Remember, we're family now. So don't forget to smile."
Spike did give a smile. "Okay, I'll smile. Actually, this is rather nice, doing something together as a family unit."
Suddenly, Blazer spoke up. "Okay, everyone! The camera's ready and I put it on a timer!", he informed his children.
He quickly made his way to them and put himself between his son and Sweetie Belle. They all smiled and waited.
"Okay, everybody say 'Drake Family'!", Blazer ordered.
"Drake Family!", they all shouted in unison right before the camera flashed. A picture came right out of a small slit built into the camera.
Blazer went to get the new image and looked at it. He gave a small smile and showed it to the kids. They were quite pleased with the resulting picture. They all looked really happy to be one big and happy family.
"Alright, that was a perfect picture. To be honest, I was afraid we were going to have to do multiple pictures. Spike has a tendency to scowl unintentionally. Anyway, I'll make a digital copy to send to your mother. You kids enjoy the rest of the day.", Blazer said, returning to the house.
"I'm just going to hang out in my room and read. There's a rather steamy bisexual mature love novel I've really been loving, recently.", Sweetie Belle said before leaving her two older siblings alone outside.
"That actually might explain the weird smell I've sensed walking past her room. Probably would be best not to get involved in that.", Spike thought to himself.
Now that the two eldest Drake stepsiblings were alone, Spike spoke. "Do you want to try to get to know each other better?", Spike asked.
Rarity decided to indulge her new brother. Maybe he would be be able to prove to her that he wasn't a creepy pervert.
"Yes. Let's do something together. As brother and sister.", she replied.
Spike was more than pleased.
"Okay. I have an idea: there's this really great family-owned convenience store that sells the best chocolate mint brownies. You'll love them!"
"Alright, let's go."
Spike suddenly looked worried. "I've got to warn you, though. This particular store is located in Shady Heights, which is a pretty rough neighborhood, to say the least. It's especially famous for gang violence."
Rarity just scoffed. "I may not look like it, but I can handle myself in a fight against some common street rats.", she said while holding up a clenched fist. Spike put on a determined face.
"Still, if anything happens, I want you to run as fast as you can. Don't wait for me or anything else. Just run.", Spike said.
Rarity held a look of genuine surprise. "I've never seen someone so determined to protect another. Maybe he is a knightly person, after all.", she thought to herself.
"Okay. I'll run. But only if you can handle the threat! If it looks like you'll be hurt, I'm helping you fight! That's a promise!", she proclaimed to her older brother.
"I can't run the risk of you putting yourself in danger for my sake."
"Too bad! We're family, Spike! And family's supposed to help each other, right? Besides, I already promised. So there's no backing out of it, now."
Spike could only sigh in defeat. She did have a point. They'll just have to protect each other if something does happen. Eventually, Spike smiled.
"Fine, we'll both promise to protect each other from now on."
"As family."
And with that, they both left for Shady Heights.
At Shady Heights
The walk to Shady Heights was pretty uneventful. Apart from a few hissing stray cats and a particularly aggressive guard dog, that is. The buildings in this part of town were either run-down or abandoned. A far-cry from any golden age this neighborhood might have had before. What was once a happy and prosperous place had descended into a tattered shadow. There were various homeless people lining the streets, with some looking like they were addicted to illegal drugs. Some of the younger people were hanging around the corners with bats and metal pipes in their hands. These guys were obviously gangsters.
Gang violence was common in this part of town, with the Timberwolves being the most powerful of the gangs. With very little police presence in Shady Heights, the Timberwolves for the most part have built their own little empire in the neighborhood. This gang was known for their acts of brutality and even murder and rape. People from this town can recognize a Timberwolf because of the tattoo of a wooden wolf's head on their foreheads. Anyone with that tattoo was treated with fear and loyalty. Anyone who disrespected them would either go missing completely or be found a few days later with broken bones, missing teeth, or missing fingers and toes. Once, a man was found with his whole left arm amputated by a machete. The Timberwolves were also a large gang, with six hundred members. Spike and Rarity had to tread carefully her to avoid any incident.
Eventually, the pair arrived at Flim and Flam's Convenience Stable. Spike walked in with Rarity in step. He looked over at the counter to see the FlimFlam Brothers taking stock of their inventory. The Brothers looked over at Spike and smiled.
"Hello there, Spike!", they both greeted in unison.
Since Spike regularly came to their store for the chocolate mint brownies, had a somewhat of a friendship with them. They always gave him what they referred to as their "Regular's Discount", which was surprising considering how he heard that they could be quite tight when it came to money. Although, this friendly attitude towards him may have something to do with the fact that he stopped a junkie from robbing them, one time. Either way, it was good for him since he loved their chocolate mint brownies.
"Hey, guys! Are you both working hard?", Spike asked the brothers.
"Are you kidding me? We're hardly working!", Flim responded, earning laughs from both his brother and Spike.
It was at that moment that the brothers noticed Rarity standing next to Spike. Flam raised an eyebrow and directed a sly smile at Spike.
"Who's the lovely lady by your side, Spike? You finally got yourself a girlfriend, you sly wolf?", he asked in a teasing voice. Spike could only blush.
"No way, man! This is my new stepsister, Rarity.", Spike replied to the strange question.
Rarity stepped forward and gave a polite smile and wave. "Hello, my name is Rarity, and I'm Spike's new sister. Thank you for having us in your lovely establishment", she said with a polite bow.
The Brothers were taken aback by how polite and cultured she acted. Most of the people who come into their store were either rude douchebags or mischievous punks trying to shoplift. But this girl was a much needed breath of fresh air. When they next spoke, they had these really goofy but happy looks.
"Thank you for visiting our humble store. Please let us know if there's anything you need.", Flim said.
"Yes, yes. Anything at all. We are always happy to serve our customers.", Flam stated.
While the Flim-Flam Brothers were "occupied", Spike led Rarity to the sweets section to look for the addictive brownies. After a few minutes, Spike found their prize. The brownies had this rich dark chocolate base with a coating of cool mint frosting on top and preserved in an air-tight plastic package. Spike would literally fight someone if they tried to take the brownies away from him. There was only one package left, and Spike thanked his lucky stars that no one else took it.
After taking the package in his hands, he and Rarity made it to the front register to pay for their treats.
Spike was just about to pay the appropriate amount when the front door suddenly bust open and fifteen guys all walked into the store. Guys all with matching wooden wolf's head tattoos on their foreheads. Spike instantly grew worried.
"Fuck, some members of the Timberwolves are here! I better play it cool and try to get myself and Rarity out of here with no problems."
He hurriedly paid the amount he owed to the Brothers and grabbed Rarity's hand. They were just about to leave when a voice called out close behind them.
"Well, well, well. Ain't that the best fuckable piece of ass I've ever seen.", one of the Timberwolves said with a voice dripping with lustful desire. It made both Rarity and Spike sick to their stomachs.
"Yeah, you're right.", another Timberwolf said.
"Hey, cutie-pie. Who might you be?", the first Timberwolf asked.
Spike hoped to get out of here peacefully. He didn't even want Rarity talking to these guys.
Rarity wanted to leave with no trouble. She quickly decided that the best course of action was to placate them and try to get them to leave both her and her brother alone. So she turned around and faced them, much to Spike's shock. She gave these thugs her most polite smile.
"My name is Rarity Drake. And this is my brother: Spike.", she introduced.
Spike turned around and gave them a soft glare and a simple nod while crossing his arms. "Hey.", he greeted flatly.
The Timberwolves barely even looked at him. They were distracted by his good-looking sister. These thugs were obviously not good people. They weren't afraid to get violent for any reason. Spike could tell that these guys lived pretty shitty criminal lives just from their appearances. Some had missing patches of hair along with missing or rotting teeth. They also had scars and lesions that indicated drug abuse. All of them wore dirty and stained clothes. They all ranged from being skeletally skinny or jacked as hell. Most had knives on them or pipes or bats. They were actually carrying weapons into a store!
Since they were standing a few feet away from each other, Spike could smell the filth and B.O. coming off these thugs. Still, these guys were hardened criminals he had to play his cards right.
"Well, it was nice meeting you guys. But we really should get going. We need to be home in time for dinner. Don't want to keep Dad and Little Sis waiting for us.", Spike said, looking at Rarity with urgency in his eyes.
Rarity was quick to catch on. "Yes, of course, Big Brother. We simply must be going.", she said, turning to leave.
Before they could leave, however, two of the Timberwolves jumped in front of the pair and blocked their path to the exit. They brandished their weapons and smiled threateningly at them. A dark chuckle sounded behind them.
"Now, now. A broad as cute as you doesn't just waltz into our territory and just leaves without paying the toll.", one apparent leader of the pack said.
The leader was a tall and thin guy a little older than Spike. Maybe his early twenties. He had tan skin, dark blue hair, and violet eyes. He wore a black leather jacket with black fingerless gloves, a white tank-top underneath the jacket, ripped jeans with half the left leg torn off completely, and red sneakers. He also carried a hunting knife in his right hand.
"What toll would that be?", Rarity calmly asked.
The leader smiled with crooked yellow teeth. "Why, joining me and the boys for a little 'party' we have planned. It will be quite entertaining."
"Sorry, Mister...?", Rarity politely asked.
"Call me Alpha, leader of the Timberwolves!", he said.
Suddenly, his subordinates all howled like actual wolves. Spike's frustration with the situation rose. They crossed paths with not just any Timberwolf, but the fucking leader of the whole fucking gang! After the howling was done, Rarity spoke again.
"Sorry, Mr. Alpha, but we already made plans with our family tonight. We are not able to attend any function you may be hosting, this evening.", Rarity said with more composure that Spike thought was possible.
Alpha suddenly scowled. "Listen, bitch! No one in this town just says 'no' to Alpha. Now, how about this: either you come with us and have a great time, or we'll have to hurt both you and your cocksucker brother?!", Alpha threatened.
Spike saw Rarity's face turn into the same scowl Spike had. When she opened her mouth, she spoke with the most venom she ever used in her voice.
"First, you threaten to rape me, then you threaten to hurt both me and my brother?! I heard that you were supposed to be wolves, but you're no wolves, at all! Wolves are noble and honorable creatures! All I see before me is nothing more than a pack of mangy stray dogs who should've been put down by their own mothers, you sorry sacks of shit!", she shouted at the gangsters.
The tension in the air was palpable. Everyone's mouths were hanging open and their eyes were as big as plates. Spike was not only shocked at Rarity's major boost in confidence, but also at her cursing. The Timberwolves, Alpha included, were shocked that someone in their neighborhood truly had the balls to speak like that to them. The Flim-Flam Brothers were both shocked and happy that this seemingly harmless girl stood up to their neighborhood's tyrants. This might as well be history in the making.
Slowly, Alpha's shocked expression turned into that of venomous rage. He was visibly seething. No one had ever spoken that way to him. Well, no one still breathing. He brandished his hunting knife and pointed it at Rarity. Spike tensed every muscle in his whole body, ready for a fight.
"You. And you brother. Are both dead. But first, I'm gonna fuck you whether you want it or not. Then, I'll slit your fucking throat. And after that, I'm gonna fuck your corpse, bitch! After I'm done with you, I'm gonna do the same exact thing to your brother! But we got to tenderize you both first. Get 'em, boys!", Alpha yelled.
Suddenly, the Timberwolves rushed at them both. Spike wanted to do this peacefully and avoid a fight. He'll have to chastise Rarity about provoking violent thugs later. Right now, he had to focus on the fight before him. Luckily for him, he knew how to fight untrained fools like these.
One of the Timberwolves tried to swing a knife at Spike, but he deflected his opponent's blade to stab into the wall. Spike then slammed the thug's head into the very same wall, knocking him out. Another gangster had a long metal pipe with him that was shoulder-high. After a one punch knockout, Spike now possessed the pipe. He used it like a fighting staff and easily defeated three more of their attackers. Spike made sure that all of his strikes were non-lethal. He noticed that he both ran out of thugs to fight and that Rarity was no longer in his sight!
"Oh shit! I hope they didn't take her while I was distracted! If they do anything to her, they're fucking dead!", Spike thought furiously.
Suddenly, a Timberwolf member came flying across the aisles and landed on the ground with a painful thud. Spike turned the corner to see his sister taking on multiple Timberwolves at once. Before Spike could run to help her, she grabbed one of the thugs by the neck and effortlessly throw him into the wall with such force, it left a crack in the drywall. All with one hand! The others tried to attack her at once, but she effortlessly dodged and countered all of them. Spike was amazed. It was like a deadly acrobatic dance.
After Rarity had dispatched all of the henchmen, it was down to just her and Alpha. Alpha was super pissed off that his men were all beaten so easily. Rarity looked at him with condescending disgust.
"What? To afraid to fight alongside your own men? How shameful. I'd think the great Alpha of the fearsome Timberwolves would've loved to fight on the battlefield with his troops. You're definitely no wolf. You're a spineless coward.", Rarity said to Alpha's reddening face.
With a horrifying cry, Alpha rushed at Rarity, knife in hand. But before he could deliver any blow, Spike ran at him and sank his fist into Alpha's face. That punch had all of his strength behind it, enough to shatter his teeth and break his jaw. Alpha went sent flying into and ice cream cooler twenty feet away from them with enough force to send both him and the cooler back against the wall! The Timberwolf's body slumped to the floor and didn't get back up.
"He's definitely going to feel that tomorrow.", Spike thought.
With the threat eliminated, Spike and Rarity looked at each other for any injuries. Rarity was completely unharmed while Spike had a few cuts and bruises. After that, they started laughing. They were laughing like fighting street thugs was the funniest thing that happened to them in their entire lives. Once they calmed down, they went to the front, picked up their brownies, called the police to pick up the gangsters, and left.
However, they didn't leave Shady Heights without making sure the police arrested the small pack of Timberwolves they left at the store. They stayed out of sight when the police were marching the handcuffed gangsters to the police cars while reading them their rights. Alpha was the last one to be escorted to the police cars, with a bruised, bloody, and swollen face.
"Well that takes care of the Timberwolves. With their leader gone, the rest of the gang might disband or get caught by the police later.", Rarity said with hope.
"Or they might lay low while fighting amongst themselves to becoming the next leader. Either way, with Alpha gone, the gang will never regain their strength.", Spike replied.
Rarity suddenly blushed and looked away from Spike. "Thank you for saving me back there. That was one hell of a punch you gave that lowlife.", Rarity praised.
Spike just smiled. "I may have had some training. Besides, you were awesome, too! You sent those clowns flying with just one hand. That was amazing!".
"Well, I think this proves it.", Rarity said.
"Proves what?".
"That we can depend on and trust each other. Again, thanks for the save. I love you, Big Brother.", Rarity said, while kissing Spike on the cheek.
Spike put a hand to his cheek and blushed. "No problem. I'll always protect my family. Now that the fight is over, what's say we go home?"
"Yes. Let's go home.".
The older Drake held out his hand, which Rarity accepted. They got up and left for home together.
At the Drake Household
After an explanation for his dad about why he got some cuts and bruises, Blazer attended to his son's wounds. He was in the middle of applying a bandage to his son's forehead when he spoke.
"Hey son, I hate to break this to you, but I'm going to be going away on a business trip for a while.", Blazer said.
"What? How long is this business trip going to be?", Spike asked.
Blazer just shrugged. "I don't know. Could be either a few months or a few years.", Blazer said casually.
Spike was shocked.
"What?! But Dad, what are we going to do without you?"
"Don't worry. You're a young man now. It's high-time you learned how to run a household when the family patriarch isn't around. Besides, you've already proven that you can protect yourself and your sisters, if you have to."
"What about money? How will we pay the bills if you're not going to be here?"
"Relax. I make a lot of money for my job, so I'll be periodically sending you money for food, bills, and other crap. I know that I can count on you to protect the family and home while I'm away."
Spike knew that there was no point in arguing. "Alright, Dad. I promise to protect the family and home.", Spike declared.
"Attaboy, son.".
After patching up his son, Blazer went upstairs and returned with a suitcase and a traveling bag. Strangely, Rarity and Sweetie Belle weren't there to see their father off.
"Now son, there's money in that jar on the coffee table for pizza. Order whatever kind of pizza you like!", Blazer said.
"Okay, Dad. I love you.".
"I love you too, son.", Blazer replied before leaving.
Once Blazer had gotten into a taxi and drove off, Spike returned to the house. After shutting the door, he went to look for his sisters to ask what kind of pizza they wanted. Eventually, he found them both sitting in the living room.
"Hey, girls. What kind of pizza do you want for dinner?", Spike asked them. He started to get the weird feeling that something was off.
They weren't looking at him. In fact, they didn't seem to be acknowledging him, at all. They also had these very serious scowls on their faces. Like something was wrong. Sweetie Belle turned to him.
"Spike, could you do something for us?", she asked.
The young Drake was unsure of what she was asking, but he thought that she wanted him to order a specific kind of pizza.
"Sure. What do you want? What kind of pizza? Cheese? Pepperoni? Supreme? Buffalo chicken?", he asked. Sweetie just continued to give him that scowling owl stare.
"No, we want you to leave this house. Right now.", she said flatly.
"Huh?"
Now Spike was even more confused.
