Chapter 5: A Way Out?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Spike was seen in an alleyway unconscious and his pants gone, leaving him in his boxers but his shirt and shoes were on.

"........ugh.....oh my .......where......what happened?" Spike said disoriented and tired.

Spike slowly got up and walked out the alley he was in. He looked and saw numerous citizens that appeared to have red skin and horns and walked around the area.

"Where am I now?" Spike asked himself.

He looked and saw a sign saying Welcome to IMP city, Second Circle.

As Spike walked, avoiding the looks he was given by the imps due to him not being in pants, around in the city, he walked past a few shops, passing a electronics store with one TV playing an ad with low quality. Spike only walked more.

"Our company's special access to the living world!" The imp on the TV said

Spike, hearing this, rushed back and listened to what he said further.

"We can help you take care of you unfinished business by taking out anyone who screwed you over when you were alive!"

Then a music jingle played that showed the imps and two others killing a few people and then finishing. Spike gave a look surprise as his eyes widen as he said.

"Oh man, I found my way back home." Spike said as he ran looking for where I.M.P was. As he did, he bumped into another imp and Spike, needing directions said.

"Hey, can you help me out sir?"

"Sure bud, lemme guess, rough night?" The imp asked as Spike replied in annoyance.

"Oh big time. But do you know where the I.M.P headquarters is?"

"Well, the way to the I M.P. headquarters is over there." The imp said pointing at the direction.

Spike replied "Thanks."

The young teen ran to the direction the imp directed and eventually managed to reach the building and as he did, it slowly came in sight.

Spike saw the building and said in his thoughts.

"That must be the I.M.P building. Here I come."

Spike reached the building and entered the door to the building. Seeing the elevator, he went to the top.

(I.M.P office room)

Spike exited the elevator and sat at the waiting room, where he saw a demonic looking dog on the receptionist table on the phone and putting back on hold with an indifferent expression as she read a magazine.

Spike went to the receptionist and said.

"Excuse me? Is this the I.M.P. workplace? I need to see your boss."

The demon dog nodded saying.

"Yeah kid, what's your issue? And why the fuck do you smell like sex, booze and drugs everywhere? And where the fuck are your pants?"

"Look, it's a long story, I...huf....ugh....I." Spike huffed and groaned in exhaustion. He looked and on the left, there was a water cooler, which he started to drink from. This caught the attention of two imps that were in the room.

"Um excuse me hun, you ok?" The female imp said

"Yeah....and what happened to you?" The male imp in the red bowtie added.

"It's a long story...I.....yo.......do any of you have a phone. I need to call Charlie." Spike said in exhaustion.

The demon dog said "Yeah. I got her number. It's on her little commercial. Here, I'll dial it."

She dialed it on the bone phone on her desk and handed Spike the phone. Charlie's voice was on the other end and Spike said

"Charlie?"

"Spike?! Oh thank goodness are you ok?!" Charlie said to him over the phone.

"Well, I have no pants, smell like a bar, have a headache, but aside from that, yeah. I'm at I.M.P. at Imp City. I found a way to get home."

"Wait What? Spike hol-"

Just as Charlie could continue, Spike hung up the phone and asked the three.

"Take me to your boss."

The male imp said pointing to a door.

"He's in that door over there."

"Thanks Mr......?" Spike said, until he didn't get his name.

"Oh, i'm Moxxie, this here is my lovely wife Millie." Moxxie said

"Howdy sweetie." Millie waved

"And the hellhound is Loona. our boss's daughter." Moxxie said motioning to the dog at the receptionist table.

"On paper." Loona added.

Spike nodded saying "My name's Spike. Thanks."

Moxxie nodded as Spike went the main office. He entered and saw the imp on the commercial he saw earlier. The imp noticed Spike and said

"Huh? Who are you? And how'd you get in here?"

Spike saw the imp on a desk and while he couldn't see him due to the blinds on the windows covering him in darkness, he looked and moved closer and saw him clearly.

"Are you the leader of I.M.P? Blitz right?" Spike asked

"Yeah, what's it to you?" Blitzo said curiously.

With a deep breath, Spike began to tell Blitzo everything of his death, from the cultists to how he was sent to Hell. Upon hearing Spike's story,

"So lemme get this straight, you were killed by a bunch of devil cultists and sent here, then you ended up getting high and drunk at a strip club and you wound up here?" Blitzo asked

Spike nodded saying "Yup, can you help me get home? I know my life sucked but I want to go back."

"Look kid, as much as this sob story is, that's not how we work, We kill people who fucked people here, not send demons to the living world." Blitzo replied.

"So you can't help me? At all?" Spike asked

"Unless you want us to off some fuckhole then yes. If not then I suggest you leave....and I mean now because you smell like shit that was mixed with crappy hot sauce and Taco Bell."

".....ok....." Spike said with a sad sigh as he exited. He sat back on the waiting room and saw Moxxie, Millie and Loona.

"Can i stay here for a few minutes? I need to catch my breath and see if I can call Charlie." Spike said

"Sure thing sweetie." Millie said

"Plus I had a feeling you'd say that, I called her after you went in Blitzo's office. Oh and by the way" Loona said and she throwed a pair of pants to Spike.

"Huh?" Spike asked.

"Put some pants on dumbass." Loona said.

"Oh......um...wait why do you have a pair of pants on you?" Spike asked

"When Blitzo soils himself." Moxxie grumbled

"..What the fuck?" Spike asked in disgust.

"Don't ask, the less you know the better." Loona answered

Spike only gave a dumbfounded look and chose not to question it and put them on. As Spike sat down, Moxxie said

"Listen Spike...sorry about your.....issue."

"I tried. But i still failed. Even in Hell I'm nothing." Spike said in dismay.

"Honey. That's not true, never think like that. It's never too late to make things right and go home." Millie reassured Spike, giving him a motherly smile.

Moxxie added "My wife's right Spike, Giving up and running away are never the answer. I should know since I faced it once."

Spike gave a small smile and nodded saying with a thankful tone "Thank you."

The married imps nodded and Spike waited by sitting down until Charlie would come.


(A few hours later)

Charlie arrived and arrived in the office and went to the imps.

"I can't show how thankful I am for you finding him." Charlie said with a relieved tone.

"It's no trouble your highness. He's a good kid, and he didn't deserve what he went through." Moxxie said

"Oh. You heard?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, the poor baby had it rough given how his parents always neglected him like his friends." Millie said with pity.

"....Wait. Spike said you have a special form of access to the living world correct?" Charlie asked.

The two imps nodded.

"I need you to look into Spike's situation. Find out what's going on and who killed him and why. Tell your boss this is a personal order from me." Charlie requested.

Moxxie and Millie nodded, with Moxxie giving a bow and saying.

"Yes your majesty."

Him and Millie went to Blitzo's office as Charlie went to the limo, with Spike and Vaggie also inside.

"When we get back, I'm gonna punch Angel in his furry spider balls." Spike said in annoyance.

"Get in line kid." Vaggie replied.

As the limo drove back to the hotel, Spike was only left wondering.

"What am I gonna do now?"

Vaggie noticed Spike's look and asked

"You alright?"

Spike said "Yeah, for now. Thanks for asking. By the way....you said you don't trust most people when I met you....does that include men?"

Vaggie gave a surprised look saying "Huh, how'd you know?"

Spike blushed and muttered "Uhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm......."

(A few hours ago)

"PARTY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS!" Spike shouted as he was partying with Angel and Cherri.

"YEAH SPIKEY!" Cherri said.

During the rave Angel said.

"YO SPIKEY, GUESS WHAT? YOU KNOW VAGGIE?"

"YEAH?" Spike replied, drinking more shots as he did.

"DID YOU KNOW SHE HATES MEN?!?!?!" Angel revealed as he did some drugs he took from a machine in the club.

"NO FREAKIN WAY!" Spike said as he danced.

"YES WAY!" Angel replied as the music turned up.

(Back to present)

Spike answered "Angel told me."

"Well...to answer your question....yeah.....I do since most guys i met are complete assholes. In fact I'm a lesbian." Vaggie said cynically.

"Wow. I mean given what i'm doing with....maybe we can be good friends?" Spike said with a hopeful tone.

Vaggie looked and saw the sincerity of Spike's words and sighed and said

"Ok....but you'll have to earn my respect Spike."

Spike nodded and said "That's fair."

As Spike and Vaggie got along somewhat, Charlie gave a happy smile, which they noticed. Vaggie, upon seeing her smile, said.

"You ok hun?"

Charlie squealed and said "You two are getting along!"

Spike chuckled and asked "Is she always like this?"

Vaggie said "Yup, and I love that about her."

Spike, hearing this smiled and while he was said he could not go home, he found a pang of comfort in his new home. He said with a smile.

"Yeah...me too."

Charlie only hugged them in a tight hug as they gave pained looks, but accepted it.


(In the living world)

The girls were in Sweet Shoppe Cafe with their boyfriends. Rainbow Dash with Soarin, Pinkie with Cheese Sandwhich, Rarity with Trenderhoof, Twilight with Timber Spruce, Sunset with Flash Sentry, Applejack with Caramel and Fluttershy with Sandalwood.

"Are you gals holdin up ok?" Sandalwood asked.

"Yeah...it's just....we miss Spike." Rainbow Dash asked.

"We always neglected him his whole life and we never got to apologize." Twilight added.

"Man. I'd never thought it'd be like this." Caramel said in genuine sadness and pity.

"Spikey-Wikey......I'm sorry!" Rarity said with grief.

"Let's just drop this ok?" Trenderhoof asked

"Yeah. I mean the kid was young, but we don't know who it was." Timber asked.

Unbeknownst to them, they were being observed. Three familiar imps were hiding in bushes and watching them converse.

"You sure about this Blitzo?" Moxxie asked

"Yup, judging from what Loonie showed us, those girls and those guys know something. Let's keep following them."

They nodded and continued observing.......
