The Descent Of Spike Into Super Animals.
The Hero's journey
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike woke up, and when he did, he found his whole body hurting. As he looked around, wondering where he might have been. Looking over, he saw he was in a hospital room. He looked over to his right. Webby was sitting there looking as though she was fast asleep.
That was when the doctor came in. It was none other than Minnie, who smiled, clearly excited though keeping her voice down.
"You're finally away." She walked over, patting his leg as he winced in pain.
"How long was I asleep?"

Three days. It turned out that Spike had passed out for three days after the battle against Chrysalis; whatever he had done pushing his body to the limit had nearly killed him. At least, that was what Minnie had told him. He wasn't sure how to feel about that as he disclosed in a few days that he would be allowed to leave the hospital, but for now, there were a few more things they needed to run some tests.

Spike would eventually be released from the hospital, as he would find out what happened since his mini coma.
The first thing he found out was what happened to Hammer. The funeral occurred a few days later, though one thing was for sure, Spike's heart sunk at sight, watching the family going around Hammer's casket; his heart rang for them as he wanted to walk towards them, say something, anything. But his legs couldn't move. He felt shame. Watching as four men, each of their species, looked down, somewhat saddened. Spike wondered if those had been their former husbands.
Then there was the little girl, the one crying for her mommy. He could feel tears running down his face. In some ways, he wished he had been the one to die that day and not Hammer. So many people were missing her.
Spike felt a hand on his shoulder as he looked back at Webby, wearing a modest black dress, giving him a nod, she didn't need to say anything, but he knew she was trying to tell him it would be alright. Spike would walk over and give his condolence to the family. They would talk, and Spike and the four ex-husbands would be the pallbearers carrying her to where they would lay her to rest. Then when everyone left. Spike stayed with the family, and they talked for the rest of the day.

Jiggles was placed on trial a while after the funeral; when it came to Hammer's death, Jiggles ended up charged with manslaughter under the belief and testimony. However, it didn't help her case, and she is now imprisoned for conspiracy against Fauna. Even with some recommendations from various heroes and the events leading to it, Jiggles had been sentenced to nearly twenty years behind bars without the possibility of Parole.
Spike remembered heading to the super prison, wanting to talk with the Rabbit, maybe ask her a few questions. He wanted to see a woman he called a friend. He was sitting in the visitation center for nearly four hours, though she never came. A guard had to come over to him and say she didn't want to see him. It was one of those things Spike wasn't sure what he could do but sighed as he left her be. Though one day, Spike hoped that the two would be able to talk and maybe make peace. But until then, he would visit her.

Another thing Spike learned about stopping a villain that was about to take over the multiverse is that you got famous very fast. For the next few months, Spike couldn't walk into a store or patrol without someone recognizing him or even trying to offer him something.
It even got so bad that he had to disguise himself but admitted to being tempted when a few girls had propositioned him into a good time. Though he had fought the urge, he had so many people around it added to more applications to join his harem.
Stack had joined, replacing jiggles, which Spike personally agreed to after the events of the battle, her helping him in the final match. He smiled a little as they worked together. Yet Hung did not say much to Spike about his sister joining her team, though he felt like the centaur wasn't looking him in the eyes. They still hung out, even getting beers on the weekend.

Then when it came down to his Harem, Spike found himself marrying all the girls; a wild thing though, with Fauna, it seemed like the idea of marrying multiple spouses was more common. He didn’t mind, though they made sure it was small, nothing like the kind Panthy and Leon had. No, they went to the capital, signed some paperwork, and boom, they were married; the honeymoon for them was something he wouldn’t forget. Though he chuckled when Slipshell had screamed, “Finally!” When he and Webby consummate their marriage, Making love for the first time.
Some of him wondered how he survived those three days, but he did. They were going off to find a home in the suburbs, in the jungle district. Finding the house was easy; it was scheduling who would get him at night, and certain days were the real hassle. He even remembered the work Webby thought to get him on Monday nights. They had to trade Saturdays. Sundays will be the rougher nights if you ask Spike.

Minnie had found herself in more of a bad mood when she found out how Chrysaliss had been able to warp her DNA and copy Spike's powers basically,
"What a hunk of mouse crap!" She spat out while throwing the notes down.
"What's wrong?" Spike asked while looking back at the mouse, who looked close to hulking out and taking on the city as she tried to fight off the horny bear transformation.
"What's wrong! Chrysalis had made a machine that fused your DNA, and she's together; it's how she was able to copy your powers while I was going to take the machine and examine it to figure out what we could do, maybe even try and get Mighty Roar his powers back, and they took it!" The mouse said while she took long deep breaths as Spike watched her breasts begin to get bigger as her ears shrunk into her.
"Cool it down, horny mouse," Spike said while he rubbed her shoulders, trying to calm her down even by nuzzling her neck. "So, who took it?"
"The government took it along with the destroyed parts of the Multi traveler." She spat in anger while she grumbled, trying to relax, "I guess it's just good that it can't be repaired so easily, The information died with Chrysalis, and Jiggles claims she doesn't remember anything. Otherwise, she would have made a deal to get out of prison."
"I'm not sure about that; I mean her just giving the information. There has to be more to it, but…." Spike wondered more, thinking back to Jiggles and asking if she was still on their side or had just used them.
"I'm just so— so…" she hit the couch in anger as the ground felt like it shook a little,
"Hey, come on, honey. How about I make you something." He said, kissing her on the cheek. Minnie giggled,
"Fine, maybe some cream and strawberries." She winked as she had an idea in mind. Spike rolled his eyes, people considered him the horny hero, but the mouse, now she was insatiable.
“I’m sure we can come up with something.” He joked while the Mouse squealed, her mood changing at the idea of what they would do.
“Sure thing Spikey though. What was that thing you were working on?” Minnie asked while looking back at the papers on the table.
“Oh, it’s… it’s a comic book.”
“Oh, one about the heroes from your world?”
“No, not really. I think I’m done with drawing superheroes now that I am one. It’s a comic about someone I knew.” He paused for a second, looking down at it, and the drawing wasn’t perfect, some of it from memory, as he looked at the picture of Rarity, how he imagined her life would turn into without him moving on, having her own family, and being happy. Somehow this smiled at him while he looked at it. Soon he closed it
They walked into the kitchen together, where Spike saw the other girls, Webby standing there wearing a pair of lingerie, all the girls did, and Spike couldn’t help but have a wide smile knowing that life was good.

Then there were the others; Spike wasn’t the only one to change after the events. Delta Danger had taken over as leader of the Menageries after Mighty Roar had decided to retire. It was a sad bit of fate, but his powers had never fully returned, even with exposure to Rydamium, and his body wouldn’t absorb it again. But it didn’t mean he wouldn’t pull his weight; when he returned from his honeymoon to Panthy, he went straight to work, becoming the new head of the hero training school. Spike was impressed while watching it, and in a way, it made Spike realize something.
It wasn’t about him; none of it was. Sure, stuff happened around him. But it didn’t mean he was the center of the world, and you know what? That was for the better. Spike felt complete, that hollow feeling he had in him was finally gone, and he felt complete in many ways.
This world might not have been the one he was born to. But in the end, he could finally call this place home, and isn’t that the point? Finding a place, you feel like you belong and feel satisfied?
The End
