Spike + Vampire: Highschool of Monsters (Freshman)

Dreadmire Academy - Underground Dungeon

Lyra and Bon-Bon were having a horrible time down in the dungeon. The first thing they saw when they woke up was the medieval-looking cell they were being kept in. They had iron collars locked around their necks to prevent them from using their magic and their weapons were taken. The only thing they received was food and water. Lyra was banging on the metal door of the cell in a feeble escape attempt.

"Lyra, just stop. You don't have your super strength and we can't use our magic," Bon-Bon said. "Even if we open the door, they took our weapons. They'd kill us before we even made it above ground."

"We can't just sit here and wait for those things to eat us! We've gotta do something!" Lyra said, continuing to punch the door.

The door suddenly made the sound of it being unlocked. An armed werewolf in its werewolf form entered the room and pointed her weapon at the two Hunters. Lyra sneered at the threatening monster.

"What? You here to eat us?" Lyra asked with venom.

The werewolf ignored her and simply motioned for them to follow her. "Follow me. If you don't do so willingly, I will use painful force. Please choose painful force."

Bon-Bon followed the werewolf with Lyra following behind begrudgingly. The werewolf led Lyra and Bon-Bon down the hall of cells until they finally stopped at a circular room deeper into the dungeon. Two other armed werewolves opened the door and motioned for the Hunters to enter. The two girls were shocked by what they saw.

The room was filled with different devices and mechanisms they knew were used for torture back in olden times. In the middle of the room were two gurneys with chained cuffs. The female werewolf pointed to the gurneys.

"Lay down on the gurneys. It will be a lot less painful for you if you simply cooperate," the werewolf said.

"Like hell we're gonna lay down on those!" Lyra said.

The belligerent Hunter would tried to fight, but the female werewolf simply grabbed Lyra by the neck and lifted her up with one clawed hand while Lyra failed to break the monster's grip. She gave Bon-Bon a threatening glare.

"Are you also planning to be a dumbass like your companion here?" the werewolf asked Bon-Bon.

The only response Bon-Bon gave was to lie down on the gurney. Smiling, the werewolf walked over to the empty gurney and violently slammed Lyra down on it. She clasped the restrains on Lyra while she was coughing and wheezing and walked over to clasp restrains on Bon-Bon who was much more cooperative. Once that was done, the door to the chamber opened to reveal a figure dressed in a black cloak with a red owl mask obscuring their face.

"I've prepared the prisoners for questioning, Grand Inquisitor," the werewolf said with a respective bow.

The figure stood there still as a statue and just continued to stare at Lyra and Bon-Bon. After an uncomfortable silence had passed for what seemed like an infinity, the Grand Inquisitor finally looked at the female werewolf.

"Thank you so much, dear. You can leave them to me," the Inquisitor said.

She happily left the room. Once she did, the Grand Inquisitor turned and stuck his head outside the room to the two werewolf guards.

"You two may want to leave," he warned. "Things are about to get... loud."

The guards looked to each other and back to the cloaked Inquisitor. They happily left the Grand Inquisitor with the two prisoners. The Grand Inquisitor turned back to Lyra and Bon-Bon.

"Now, I'm going to ask you some questions. You'd better answer honestly, for your own sake," the Inquisitor said.

"You're not gonna get anything out of us!!" Lyra shouted.

The Grand Inquisitor sighed and turned his back to them. "Looks like we'll have to use more... strict methods."

Slowly, the Grand Inquisitor closed the door to the room.

Dreadmire Academy Parascience Class

Spike and all of his friends were sitting in their Parascience Class listening intently to their teacher giving them their lesson on how monster hybridization works. At least, that was when their teacher was looking at them.

Whenever their teacher, Dr. Johan Hochmuller, wasn't looking, the female students in the room would scoot their seats closer to him. It didn't help that he was given a seat where he was surrounded by his female classmates. He could sense their eyes on him as well as well as their desire. Spike was trying his best to ignore them, but it was damned difficult. He channeled his arc energy to his hearing to enhance it and he picked up the sounds of light sniffing. He looked down at his shirt collar and noticed a few blood stains on it.

"Crap! I didn't clean up all the blood! They can probably smell it!" Spike thought frantically.

A tap on his shoulder brought his attention to Fluttershy, who held a worried expression on her face. Fluttershy was sitting next to Spike on his left.

"Spike, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked. "You look a bit pale."

"Yeah, I just had some blood taken from me by some mosquitos," Spike whispered back.

A loud slamming sound echoed through the room and the students looked to see their Dr. Schmidt looking very displeased with them.

"I know you kinder want to express your gratitude to the school hero, but may I suggest that you do that at lunch?" Hochmuller asked.

"Sorry, Dr. Hochmuller," the class said.

"Now, then, who can tell me the result of a pairing between a member of a monosex species and that of another species?" Dr. Hochmuller asked.

Twilight was the one to raise her hand. The doctor pointed to her to reply.

"Those of a monosex species can either reproduce through parthenogenesis or by mating with a member of another species," Twilight replied.

"Very good, Miss Tepes. What would the resulting offspring of such a union be?" Hochmuller asked.

Rarity raised her hand at that. Doctor Hochmuller pointed to her.

"The result would always be child of the monosex species, but there's also the chance of a twin from the other parent's species," Rarity said.

"Very good! Now who--?" Dr. Hochmuller was about to ask before the door to his classroom opened.

The entire class turned to see that the source of the interruption was one of the Inquisitors! The cloaked figure walked up to stand next to Dr. Hochmuller and looked around the room, scanning the students themselves. The Inquisitor's hidden eyes seemed to finally settle on Spike. Spike's heartrate jumped as the figure pointed to him.

"You are Spike Roman, yes?" the Inquisitor asked with a female voice.

"Y-yes. I am S-spike Roman," Spike replied.

"Would you mind accompanying me?" the Inquisitor asked. "The Grand Inquisitor is eager to meet you."

The mention of the Grand Inquisitor got everybody talking amongst themselves. That name "Grand Inquisitor" must have meant that they were very important. Spike got up and walked up to the Inquisitor.

"Why does the Grand Inquisitor want to see me?" Spike asked.

"He has a few questions for you," the Inquisitor said. "Please come with me. Your friends can fill you in on your studies later."

Spike did as he was told and followed the masked Inquisitor down the halls to the Conference Room. The only creature in the room was a tall cloaked figure wearing a red owl mask, an obvious signifier of his rank. The lower-ranked Inquisitor gave a small bow.

"Sir, I've brought Spike Roman as requested," the Inquisitor said.

"Good. Leave us," the Grand Inquisitor said.

Once Spike and the Grand Inquisitor were alone, the man motioned for Spike to sit down. The Grand Inquisitor sat down across from Spike and took off his mask, revealing a handsome man with black hair and sideburns as well.

"Sorry if we scared you there for a while," the man said with a smile. "I know we have a scary reputation."

"Uh, yeah. I heard you wanted to speak to me?" Spike asked.

"Oh yes, I've heard quite a bit about you, Knight of Dreadmire," the man replied. "Wait, where are my manners? I am Sombra, Grand Inquisitor of the Nyx Inquisition and head of this particular investigation."

"Thanks. So... what do you want to know?" Spike asked nervously.

"I heard that you were the one who defeated the Hunters and that you possess an abnormally high arc level," Sombra said. "If you could, please tell me how exactly you bested two experienced Hunters?"

"I'm... not really sure myself," Spike replied. "It's kind of blurry. It's like I was fighting based solely on instinct."

"Hmm. I suppose that makes sense. Now, about the victims of the attack suddenly coming back to life, what are your thoughts on it?"

"It's obviously nothing short of a miracle. It looked like strings of magic shot down from the moon and struck each one of the coffins and the dead were brought back to life."

"Streams of magic coming from the moon? That's very interesting. I would ask about your arc level, but that's not important to this investigation. Now then, how would the Hunters have found the school's location?"

"I'm sure you've already thought of this, sir, but I think that there's a traitor amongst us."

"That much is obvious. That's part of why we're here: to find the traitor."

"It's not me! I want to make that clear here and now!"

Sombra let out a laugh. "I know it's not you, son! I combed through your memories while we were talking and I know you're not the traitor!"

That statement caught Spike's attention. "Wait, what do you mean you combed through my memories?"

Sombra's appearance began to change right before Spike's eyes. Gray slimy skin replaced his peach tan and his head lost its human face and was replaced with a face with six octopus tentacles surrounding his mouth. Two bulbous yellow eyes looked at Spike with a kind expression.

"You see, I'm a Mindflayer," Sombra said. "I use my psychic powers to help in my investigations, hence why I'm Grand Inquisitor."

Spike didn't know what to say. He couldn't take his eyes off the face tentacles that continuously moved. Sombra laughed again.

"Yeah. I take it this is the first time you've seen a Mindflayer?" Sombra asked.

"Yep, this is my first time," Spike said.

"My species is pretty rare, so not many encounter us," Sombra said. "Our psychic powers tend to make people uncomfortable."

"I don't mind if you need them for this investigation," Spike said. "Besides, I like learning about other species."

"You have an open mind, son, and I respect that," Sombra said. "I like you. I'm glad this school has you to protect it. I can see why the ladies here are drawn to you as well."

"You saw... those memories?" Spike asked with a blush.

"Yeah. Don't worry, you'll have to deal with a lot more of those," Sombra said. "I'm sure even a few Overlords would want their daughters to court you."

"Oh joy," Spike said flatly. "Can I go back to class?"

"Yes yes. I've taken up too much of your time, already," Sombra said.

Spike got up and left the room and headed back to class as quickly as possible. Sombra seemed like a nice guy. Maybe these Inquisitor guys aren't so scary after all.

Spike's Dorm Room - Later That Night

The entire night had gone pretty smoothly. Before he went back to class, he washed the blood off his collar to keep his sniffy classmates at bay. Now, he just wanted to make himself some food and watch some anime in his pajamas before he went to sleep. His room's TV was able to connect to his phone and he had the Crunchyroll app. He was in otaku heaven.

Just as he was scrolling through his watchlist to select a series to watch, he suddenly felt like he was alone in the room. He looked left and right and behind him and saw no one. It wasn't until he turned around that he saw a smiling Rainbow Dash in a tank top, shorts, and her true Harpy form looking at him. Spike nearly threw his popcorn bowl over his head.

"What's up, Spike? Watching anime?" she asked, looking to the TV.

"Yeah, I am," Spike replied. "Now what are you doing here?"

"Sunset and Twilight were bragging about how they took a bath with you this morning," Rainbow replied.

Rainbow Dash then proceeded to wrap her wings around Spike and press her spicy chicken breasts against Spike while straddling his lap. She gazed at Spike like a hawk before whispering in his ear.

"You do know that I want to spend some time with the school hero, too, right?" Rainbow whispered. "I can wrap you in my wings if you want... my lord."

Spike couldn't believe that someone like Rainbow Dash was saying stuff like that to him. She always came off as a fierce one that wouldn't be so submissive to anyone. Before anything could escalate, Rainbow was pulled off by none other than Applejack, who was also in her true Ogre form.

"Now, Rainbow, what was that I just saw?" she asked annoyed.

"I was just... playing," Rainbow replied nervously.

"Rainbow, I know how you get when you see something you like, but you gotta be more mindful of this guy," Applejack said.

"Oh really? Then why are you even here?" Rainbow asked annoyed. "You here because of what Sunset and Twilight were saying?"

Applejack was blushing now, but she tried to hide it. It was oddly adorable.

"I'm just here to see if Spike wanted some help studying," Applejack replied.

The three heard the sudden sound of windows opening and they saw Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Sunset all enter the room. They were all in their true forms, as well. Spike was amazed as he never saw Rarity and Fluttershy's true forms.

Rarity was a beautiful combination of human and spider. Her eyes were solid bright purple and possessed no pupils or sclera, and there were six of them. Her arms were chitinous three-fingered claws and were quite long. Four long spider legs sprouted from her back, and a large dark purple spider abdomen sat at her lower back. She was still oddly beautiful in that form.

Fluttershy had a rather short serpentine tail where her legs would be and had a pair of large bat-like wings folded against her back. Her eyes were a reptilian amber and were shaped like slits. Fluttershy's fingers ended in pretty vicious claws. A thick forked tongue sometimes flickered out of her mouth.

"Great! Now we've got a whole party here!" Spike said sarcastically.

"What are you all doing here?" Rainbow asked.

"We were here to hang out with Spike and help him study! What are you all doing here?" Twilight asked.

"I wanted to give Spike a celebratory cake for his victory in the battle!" Pinkie replied.

"I was going to show Spike this interesting bat documentary I found," Fluttershy said.

"I wanted to get Spike's measurements for a new line I'm producing," Rarity said.

"It's just my duty to serve Lord Spike," Sunset said. "What are you doing here, Twi?"

"I wanted to... drink some more of Spike's blood," Twilight said with a face twisted in delight. "It's soooooooo good!"

Spike turned to Twilight with a determined look on his face. "Actually, I'm glad you brought that up. We're gonna have to out a daily limit on that."

"What?! Why?!" Twilight asked with a pout.

"I nearly passed out today! My magic can only heal so much!" Spike said. "I just think we should limit how much you drink."

"Does that apply to me?" Sunset asked seductively. "I too took quite a lot of your blood. It's easy to see why Twilight would be addicted to it."

"Does Spike's blood taste that good?" Rarity asked, genuinely curious.

Twilight gave Rarity a crazed expression. "It IS! It's the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!"

"I kinda wanna try it now," Rainbow said.

Before Spike to turn around to try to stop Rainbow, the Harpy grabbed his right arm and bit down hard onto his forearm, sharp teeth puncturing his skin easily and trying to get as much blood as possible. Shockwaves of pain shot through Spike's arm like electricity. Spike miraculously managed to keep himself from screaming. He would've tried to pull her off if Applejack didn't grab his left arm and bit down on his left wrist.

"No fair! I wanna try!" Pinkie cried.

Pinkie Pie ripped off Spike's shirt and bit down on an area below his collarbone. Rarity picked Spike's left leg and bit an area below and behind his knee. Fluttershy took the right leg and bit in the same spot as Rarity. Sunset and Twilight both bit where his shoulders met his neck.

Spike could feel his blood rapidly his body as well as a sense of cold accompanied by the girls chewing at his flesh. Spike really had to focus channeling his arc energy to keep himself from dying. He couldn't scream or cry out due to the loos of blood as well as Twilight's and Rarity's venom working to keep him loopy and numb to anything. Their venom must be working as he couldn't feel most of his body. Still, he just had to wait for them to stop at this point.

Thankfully, they did stop. When they lifted their heads, they all had ecstatic look on their faces and blood on their lips.

"You weren't lying!" Rainbow said. "That is so good!"

"Delicious!" Pinkie said.

"Absolutely splendid!" Rarity exclaimed.

"That's what I call 'quality goods'!" Applejack said.

"So good!" Fluttershy said.

"What did I tell you?" Twilight asked. "Best blood ever!"

"As good as Master's blood is, I'm starting to think we should put a limit on how much we drink," Sunset said.

"Why?" Applejack asked.

Sunset Shimmer simply pointed to Spike. He was in a wretched state.

Spike was deathly pale looked similar to a drained juice box. His chest barely rose and fell with each breath. His chest, neck, arms, and legs were still showing ragged bite wounds that were slowly healing. Spike's breaths came in ragged wheezes. The girls all blushed and looked away in shame.

"Sorry Spike," Twilight said. "I'll try to limit myself."

"We all will," Rarity said softly.

"How about we all join Spike in watching anime?" Rainbow asked.

Once Spike was fully healed, he decided to accept the fact that they were there and sat on the couch with them while he put on an anime for them to watch. As he sat there, he looked to the girls and sighed inwardly.

"Being with these girls won't be easy, but it sure as hell is a lot of fun," Spike thought. "May as well get used to the quirks of hanging around monsters."
