The Dragon Sinner
Chapter 13: Joining I.M.P.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike, I.M.P, Angel, Cherri, Octavia and Alastor had eventually returned to Hell and headed to the Hotel. They were all cheering and laughing at their success of Spike's macabre quest.
"We fuckin did it!" Blitzo cheered.
"Those fuckers got what was comin to them!" Angel agreed.
"And Spike showed us why he should be called Hell Night!" Cherri Bomb added.
"Thanks you guys. I owe you one." Spike said
"So.....now what?" Moxxie asked.
"What do ya mean Mox?" Blitzo asked.
"Well, now that Spike has gotten his revenge, what do we do now?" Moxxie asked.
Spike wondered and realized Moxxie had a point, on one hand, he may have achieved his vengeance against his murderers and could rest in peace, but on the other hand, he felt he should at least try to do something else.
"Well......I need time to think." Spike answered.
"That's fair." Millie agreed.
Spike went to the room he had in the hotel and sat on the bed, contemplating his next move now that he has avenged his own death. After a few seconds, a knock on the door was heard.
"Come in." Spike said.
The door opened and it was Charlie, she looked at Spike and gave a look of concern and curiosity.
"Spike, are you ok?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, i'm fine. Just thinking about what to do now." Spike answered.
"Well. You avenged your death. So what do you want to do?" Charlie asked.
".......I don't know. I'll take a walk and see what I can come up with." Spike said, getting up.
Charlie said with an nod of acknowledgement "That could help."
Spike left his room and began to walk out the hotel. As he walked through the streets, contemplating the next steps he should take, some demons looked and recognized him.
"Is that him?"
"That's the guy!"
"It's the Hell Night!"
"That's the kid who fucked up that bitchy news reporter?!"
As Spike walked, he had entered a bar and despite having never drunken before, except when Angel Dust had drugged him and made him partied hard, Spike ultimately relented and entered and as he did, he sat and the bartender asked.
"What'll it be boy?"
"I'm not really here to drink, i'm here for info." Spike asked.
"For the Hell Night, sure, what kinda info do you need?" The bartender asked.
"...how does one demon get to the living realm? I know I.M.P has special access. But is there another way?" Spike asked.
The bartender with a look of wariness, whispered.
"Well boy, there is one way that is legal. One has to get an Asmodean Crystal from the Lord of Lust himself: Asmodeus, in the Lust ring. But you have to be impress him enough to earn one, especially if you work at his place. It's known as the House of Asmodeus, but we mostly call it Ozzie's."
Spike nodded and was ready to leave, until the bartender said.
"Oh and Hell Night?"
Spike turned and gave a look with a raised eyebrow, confused on what else the bartender had to say.
"Be careful, your actually the first thing Hell has that's close to a hero. Especially given how you put that bitchy news anchor in her place for her bullshit."
Spike was taken aback a bit at what the bartender said. Him? A hero?. Back up the top, only Twilight and the Rainbooms were the superheroes while he was only more like a bystander or sidekick. But now? He was actually seen as a hero himself? The half demon half human only left the bar in silence.
(At I.M.P)
Spike reached the building where Blitzo, Millie, Moxxie and Loona worked and entered. He took the elevator to their floor and knocked on the door.
The door opened and it was Moxxie, who saw Spike and said.
"Spike, what are you doing here?"
"Can I talk to you all? It's a little personal." Spike asked
Moxxie let Spike in, with the others noticing. Blitzo, who sat at the center said.
"Well well, looks like the infamous Hell Night wants to see us. What's your next request? And no, you have to pay this time."
"Well.....about that." Spike said with slight hesitance.
"What is it sweetie?" Millie asked.
"Um.....I want in." Spike answered.
"Wait. You want to join I.M.P?" Loona asked in surprise.
"After what I faced in my life. From Twilight and her friends always putting me down, those assholes we offed for offing me first, not to mention even before how I never had a good life from the girls, school and my adoptive parents. It's high time I step up and show why I'm Hell Night now. That's why I want in. To punish all the sinners who walk the streets. You each showed me that running and denying the truth won't change anything. It's high time i show why I chose Hell Night as my name. " Spike said with a determined and vengeful tone.
The I.M.P. gang were left with looks of surprise at Spike's words.
"Damn kid! I'm impressed with how your cliche high school comic book life mixed with reality just gave me another reason to like you!" Blitzo said impressed.
"And another reason for me to smash." Loona muttered, though none of the others paid attention.
"So....Can i join?"
"Kid. Welcome to I.M.P!. Just remember that you start tomorrow so bring your resume. Mainly since today we have a fuckload of targets tonight from a bunch of other clients after your little Halloween Hellfest."
Spike nodded and headed back to the hotel. Armed with his newfound chance to join the company and along with the info he needed to get back to the human world.
(Somewhere in Pentagram City)
"ugh.......what......what happened?" A voice said.
"Flash?"
Flash got up and saw an equine like creature with wings that had blue streaks. Flash only looked and said in shock.
"Huh?! Soarin? Is that you?!"
"Flash?!" What happened to you?" Soarin asked, pointing at him.
Flash looked and saw the winged creature and said "What happened to you?"
"Ugghhhh......my head." Another voice said.
"Gilda?" Soarin said, looking at the direction from which the voice had came from.
The voice belonged to a demon like avian creature. She had white fur on her head and a griffon like body that was brown and wore a brown like coat and torn blue pants. She also had brown like avian wings on her back also.
"Where the fuck are we?!" Gilda said in shock.
"Uggghh.....what the fuck?" A monstrous equine-looking type creature with green skin, green eye pupils and purple sclera and dark green hair said while slowly getting up.
"Huh? Wait....Timber?" Another voice said.
The person appeared to be an yellow colored demonic like equine with a brown balloon like mane and tail and he looked at the creature who had the familiar voice.
"Cheese?" Timber replied.
"Dammit! WHERE. ARE. WE?!" Gilda said.
"Um, guys?" Timber said, pointing at the sign, which read WELCOME TO HELL.
"Wait.....we're in......HELL?!" Flash said in disbelief.
(In the living world, Canterlot City)
Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna were being hounded by reporters of the event that had happened during the Fright Formal.
"How can you explain the murders that happened?!" One reporter asked.
"Why were the Rainbooms unable to do anything?!" A second reporter questioned.
"Who do you think committed these acts?!" Another asked, holding a mic.
The constant questioning only stressed the two principals, who only pushed through and went into their offices. Luna had eventually closed the door and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
"I can't believe this sister. Spike was killed and yet he was somehow able to come back from the dead and kill Flash, Soarin and those other bullies we had to always suspend." Vice-Principal Luna said with a tone of pressure and guilt, breathing some air from having to face the reporters.
"Me too Luna. Not only that, but the superheroes known as the Rainbooms weren't even able to stop him from wreaking havoc. It's all our faults that Spike lost his life so tragically, and we couldn't properly intervene for that matter. " Principal Celestia said, giving a frazzled look herself also from having to deal with the reporters.
As this happened, in the halls, a few days after Spike's mission had succeeded, there were some students being interrogated by police officers on Spike's life and his death and a few others who were being cuffed and led away into police cars, which included Mr. Cranky Doodle, Thunderlane, Mr.Flintheart and a few other students and teachers who were protesting they were innocent. The Rainbooms themselves meanwhile were in the cafeteria with weary looks.
"Well, looks like CHS is the talk of the news lately." Sunset commented.
"All because Spike came back from the dead." Fluttershy added in fright and shock.
"But that raises the question. HOW?" Twilight asked.
"Well however he did it, he made us look like jokes!" Rainbow Dash said in dismay.
"But that's just it Dash, we are jokes." Applejack said in guilt.
"Applejack!" Rarity said.
"No Rares! That varmint with the cane and suit Spike sicked on us made me realize how awful we were to him! Ever since his time here in CHS we never backed him up the same way he did with us, even when we got our powers!" Applejack pointed out, giving a frown of grief.
The other girls were in disbelief, but knew she had a point and also only gave looks of grief and guilt, knowing the point Applejack had when Alastor called them out on their actions.
"Not to mention how he proved how our own dates were the ones who did this to him." Pinkie added.
As the girls contemplated, they only thought what to do next........
