> Spike on The road > by Rcmc > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Lizard or Dragon > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I’ve never been lucky in love. People began to gather in front of two young people who confessed their love in a rather extravagant way. Music, a large bouquet, and a boy dressed in a suit kneeling in front of a beautiful lady- “Rarity, you are a wonderful girl, and these three months I spent hanging out with you were also wonderful,” Spike said while taking a small box out of his pocket. The box had an elegant necklace Inside; anyone who saw it would think it was expensive. “So tell me, do you want to make it official? Do you want to be my girlfriend?” The girl with purple hair smiled warmly, slowly opening her lips to say her answer. "I'm sorry, darling, but I have a boyfriend." The boy's look was one of great confusion While the music ended But I thought that you and I... "Spike I see you as my little brother, let's not ruin our relationship by trying to date. ." Rarity laughed a little and then took her bag and left the place. "Thanks for the food, it was delicious." The whispers, laughter, and their looks were not lacking. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, haha." Spike ran out of the place embarrassed *My name is Spike Drake and this is the only one in a story where I got my ass kicked over and over again.* The next day, Spike got up. His head was still spinning, but he still had to work. *I'm not very smart or very wealthy, but my body is the only thing I know won't fail me.* Spike carried a bunch of Cement bags on his back until his elders called him. "Hey, Spike, come here, kid." The old guys always abused Spike by making him work harder in exchange for some extra coins. "Hey, repeat that trick that I like, you know." Spike took his tongue and stretched it a long distance. "Hahaha, see, I told you he's like a lizard." The old men started laughing while giving him coins, but soon one more person decided to join them. "So, you're bothering young Spike again, are you?" the boss began to walk towards them with a kindly fake smile. "You know, Spike was present yesterday when you did your little act." Laughing, he handed a bill to Spike. "You know, Spike, you remind me of the boy who always bothered me in high school." "People like you end up as failures, working to death, while guys like me who work hard in school go out with young girls like the ones who rejected you." Spike's boss put a twenty in front of his cheek. "Go ahead and do more tricks." Spike took the bill for the pleasure of his boss. *He knows I need the job, but my uncle always told me that I am a very emotional person.* Spike took the bill and put it in his boss's mouth, only to then punch him in the face. "Damn, you broke my nose. You're fired, you idiot. You don't know who I am. I'll make sure they don't hire you again." Spike began to take off his uniform and left the place, raising the finger at everyone. Spike arrived at a bar where he used the rest of his money to buy a beer Spike's gaze was calm but inside his mind there was a storm. “Damn, this time I screwed up. I needed the money, but I couldn’t control myself.” Spike’s drink arrived in barely good condition. Something fair for what I pay. "I hope this knocks me down. I just want to forget about all the shit today." "I don’t understand why we have to take care of this place. You know it’s kind of boring". the security guards, made up of a young man with blue hair named Soarin Speed and Big Mac Apple, with blonde hair and a marked body, said. "Yup" The blonde responded shortly, making his partner sigh. "Hey baby, come on, it won't hurt you to dance or do you have a boyfriend haha?" three boys cornered a couple of women who seemed uncomfortable "Well, it looks like we have work". Soarin threw his knuckles, ready to act, until his partner stopped him Spike got up from his place and started walking towards the group, only to hold the guy’s hand tightly " Hey, what’s your fucking problem?" He could barely finish his sentence when Spike punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground and making the girls scream. "Don't screw up the damn atmosphere" it was something incredible but Spike had gotten drunk with just one sip of his drink. "Hey, hero, outside" Big Mac took Spike’s shoulder and started to pull him out of the place "Hey, let go of me". Spike tried to free himself, but Big Mac’s force was too much for him Big Mac pushed Spike out of the place "Hey, idiot, I was just trying to help". Spike tried to hit Big Mac, but the blonde grabbed his arm and managed to reduce him easily. Even with the pain, Spike used all his strength to get up, dislocating his shoulder in the process (My body is the only thing I trust because when it stops working, I will be left with nothing.) -Spike ran towards Big Mac, only to be intercepted by a soarin kick. "Just relax, boy. We just want you to calm down". Spike quickly got up and returned to the fight, throwing himself towards Soaring, knocking him to the floor, and hitting himself in the process. "I have nowhere to go and fighting is all I can do today, I just want to get even." soaring easily covered himself from Spike's blows, anyone would realize that Spike was an amateur "Hey Mac, give a hand" Mac approached them both, taking Spike from behind only to receive a headbutt on the nose - ( I just want to be sure that this body won't let me down.) -Soaring hit Spike repeatedly, making his nose bleed- "Please, I can win, please Rarity, don't leave me" Spike walked with what was left of his strength before falling but Big Mac stopped him to the surprise of his partner "Hey Mac, what are you doing?". "You know we've gone too far. Soarin, we will get a punishment if we continue and apparently, this guy can still go on". The green-haired man, still unconscious, continued clenching his fists ready for more, surprising both guards. "Hey, the boss said we needed more personnel, right?" Big Mac took out his phone and started dialing an ambulance. "I think we've got someone in." Mac had a smile on his face as he thought, "Are you a lizard or a dragon?" > The proof > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike woke up from his dream dressed in hospital clothes and a cast covering his left arm. “What the…” Suddenly, Spike remembered what had happened a few days ago. Embarrassed, he covered his face and lay down. *I got out of control again*. When Spike recovered, he saw a note at the foot of his bed and he curiously took it. * I even mentioned Rarity What a shame*. *He asked me if I was worried about me* “Hey, Spike, you got beat up, didn’t you?” A tall, burly man with brown hair entered the room, but what caught the most attention was his lush and elegant mustache. “Tell your uncle what happened.” “I’m sorry you have to come to see me. I’m sure you were very busy.” Spike smiled nervously as he tried to hide the letter as best as possible. *He’s Scorpan. We don’t share blood, but he has taken care of me since I was little*. Scorpan slowly approached Spike’s bed with a big smile. “Spike, tell me who did this to you.” Spike tried not to look into his eyes, but in the end, he had to give him an answer. “I had a motorcycle accident, you know. I’m pretty stupid, haha.” Spike and Scorpan chatted a little, sharing laughter and stories, they hadn't seen each other in at least 6 months after all. Scorpan gave him a friendly smile and then began to leave the room. “You better rest". “Yeah, okay, Scorp.” Spike took out the note again quickly. “If you want revenge, come to this address.” “I hope it’s not too far away.” Spike began to dress in the change of clothes that Scorpan had brought him. “I have to do it.” Spike had a determined look on his face, ready to leave, until he saw a pair of muscular men right outside his door. “And this?” “Spike, you idiot. You thought I would let you go unpunished.” Spike’s ex-boss pushed him with a cocky smile on his face. “Dad told me to let it go, that you’re not worth it. But I wanted to at least teach you a lesson.” “Hey, I’m sorry for what I did to you. I didn’t have a good day, but you know you deserved it too.” Spike tried to fix things, but one of the thugs started holding him tightly, hurting him. “Look, I have something to do, but if you want a fight, then I will give you a fight. But not here. Let’s go outside.” Spike pointed to the parking lot of the place, and everyone agreed. It didn’t take long until Spike got on his guard. “Hitting someone who has just left the hospital is unethical for me.” Spike’s boss took off his shoe, showing his stinky foot. “Since I found out you were here, I haven’t washed my feet until now.” That’s disgusting. I’ve been here for three days, haven’t I? He hasn’t washed them for three days. Spike sighed and began to slowly approach his boss. I guess I owe him that, at least. I did break his nose. “And so as not to have hard feelings, what do you think if you later introduce me to that girl who rejected you last time, "I know he would date anyone with some money like me," Once nearby, Spike began to stomp on his former boss’s foot several times . “Like I’m going to lick your stinky foot, this is too much for revenge.” Spike spat out the words as he dodged the kick aimed at his face. One of the bullies grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, only to get a knee in the balls. “Uuugh!” The guy fell to his knees, clutching his groin. Meanwhile, his partner sneaked behind Spike and wrapped his arms around his neck, trying to choke him. “Hey, nothing personal, but I met a guy stronger than you recently.” Spike said, elbowing him in the ribs. He easily freed himself from the grip and returned to his ready position. Spike began to hit him repeatedly with his free arm, landing punches on his face and chest. “You damn…” The bully lunged at him, trying to tackle him to the ground. Well, I learned a lot of things from my last fight. Jumping in without thinking is a bad idea. Spike thought, as he sidestepped and grabbed his arm, twisting it behind his back. “Do you give up?" To the surprise of his boss Spike quickly finished off the thugs even with his arm in a cast. *I still have it, without a doubt I'm better at fighting sober* Spike slowly approached his former boss with an evil smile. “Come on, Spike, we can talk about it reasonably, can’t we?” The stinky feet tried to back away, but it was too late. Hours later, both the thugs and their boss were found with their own socks in their mouths. *Spike: 1, ex-boss: 0* After their small altercation, Spike finally arrived at the address of those who had left him like this. This place is huge The place was one huge, shiny building. It was sure to hurt someone’s eyes if they looked directly at it, Spike thought. “It’s now or never.” Spike came in, ready to receive any attack. But he was surprised to see a common office. “Excuse me,” Spike took the note out of his pocket. “I’m looking for someone named Big Mac, Soaring, and Shining Armor.” Hearing the last name, all the people set their sights on him, cornering him against a wall. *I knew something like this was going to happen*. Spike felt a hand on his shoulder, instantly recognizing him by his strength. “I’ll take it from here, guys.” Big Mac quickly pushed the crowd away with his order. “I’m glad you came, Spike. ""I guess you're big Mac." Spike tried to measure himself up to Mac but was disappointed to find out that he was extremely small. *damn giant you beat me again* Mac chatted with Spike for a while while showing him the facilities of the place. *We're here, here's the boss's office, who asked me to leave you the letter." Mac opened the door slowly. We're here, here's the boss's office, who asked me to leave you the letter." Mac opened the door slowly The atmosphere of the place changed quickly, everyone started working again and even Mac was a little nervous. *How tough must the boss be for everyone to act like this?* The imposing image in Spike’s head faded when he saw the shining armor boss sitting on a small chair playing tea party with his daughter. I take back what I said. Upon realizing that they had entered, Shining Armor stood up to receive them. “Hello, Mac, and this guest must be Spike, right? My name is Shining Armor, and this is my daughter, Flurry Heart.” Shining offered his hand to Spike, and he did the same. “A pleasure.” Even though it was a normal squeeze, Spike could feel that if he did something wrong, he would rip his hand off. “I, Mr. Shining,” Spike felt a small tug on his pants, and when he looked at Shining’s daughter, she offered him a cup of tea. “I’m sorry, little one, but I’m not…” Spike couldn’t finish his sentence as he felt an incredible bloodlust coming from Shining Armor. Before he knew it, everyone in the room was playing tea party. How did we end up like this? “Then tell me, Spike, I understand that today you came to take revenge on my boys, didn’t you?” Shining took a small sip of his tea while Spike swallowed. “I’m actually here to apologize, sir.” This surprised Shining a little, but Mac smiled placidly. “I made quite a scene and even attacked your employees, so I had to apologize.” Spike bowed 180 degrees in a perfect posture of apology. “I’m so sorry.” Flurry Heart laughed at Spike’s actions, earning a smile from Shining Armor too. “Haha, Spike, get up. That wasn’t necessary. Come on.” Shining Armor got up from his chair and started walking towards his desk. “Big Mac said he had a feeling about you, and this boy has never let me down with his instincts.” Shining began to search through his papers while Spike looked at the apple in confusion. “I don’t think I understand, sir.” Without much explanation, Shining Armor put a blade in front of him. “You passed the test. Anyone who makes Flurry laugh can’t be a bad person.” Shining began to take a lollipop out of his pocket. “We need people like you, Spike. Tell me, do you want to join this company?” “Me? But, sir, you barely know me.” Spike lowered his head with some shame. “Besides, I’m no one special. You know, I could get better employees. After all, the only thing I know how to do is fight.” "That's why I'll test you." Shining opened the door, revealing the Soarin figure. "You? You came for revenge?" Soarin threw himself at Spike, but was quickly stopped by Big Mac. "Calm down a little, Soarin. You don't want to hurt your partner, do you?" Soarin stood with his mouth open as he looked at Big Mac. "This has to be a joke." "By the way, he'll be on your team tonight, so take him. You'll have to put him to the test." Soarin saw Spike offering his hand kindly. "This is going to be a long night. Come here again." Soarin grabbed Spike by his clothes and started dragging him out. * Finally got a job without help from Scorpan*. Spike smiled happily as he was dragged out of the facility. > 2.5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *I have been working for the company for six years and without a doubt I am one of the most trusted employees*. Soarin was waiting in the gym for his new student. *Then why do I have to take care of this kid* Spike entered through the door completely soaked “I’m sorry I’m late, But a girl's rabbit fell into the river and I had to help.” Spike entered without worrying too much about getting the floor wet. *This guy is always late somehow*. Monday: “Sorry, Soarin, a girl’s truck broke down and I had to help her.” Spike entered the place full of dust, staining everything. Tuesday: “Sorry again, Soarin. I was helping a clown with his confetti cannon.” Spike entered the place full of confetti and cake. Wednesday: “Really, really, I’m sorry, Soarin. It won’t happen again, but a girl had a motorcycle accident and I had to help her.” Spike was bleeding from the head while talking to the wall. “Spike, go to the hospital.” Soarin helped Spike out of the place. Thursday: “Good training, Spike. I’m surprised you’re coming early today.” "I told you so." Spike took a sip of water, accidentally wetting things. “And that was repeated all month” Soarin started putting on boxing gloves while Spike swallowed. “Today we will do boxing?” Spike got a little nervous and started to back away. “To this? It’s just to protect you. Today you will fight me with everything you have.” Soarin climbed into the gym ring, waiting for Spike to get ready. “Then I don’t plan on holding back.” Spike jumped up towards the ring, lunging at Soarin immediately. “Your movements are erratic and slow. Come on, you were better yesterday.” Spike threw a punch at Soarin's face, but Soarin dodged it easily and countered with a jab to Spike's stomach. Spike groaned and backed off, trying to catch his breath. "Is that all you got?" Soarin taunted. "You're not even trying." "I'm just warming up," Spike said, wiping his mouth. "You'll see." Spike charged at Soarin again, throwing a flurry of punches. Soarin blocked most of them, but some landed on his arms and chest. He felt a sting of pain, but he didn't show it. He waited for an opening and then kicked Spike in the leg, making him stumble. "Nice kick," Spike said, grinning. "But you'll have to do better than that." Spike swung his leg at Soarin's head, hoping to surprise him. But Soarin saw it coming and ducked, grabbing Spike's leg and throwing him to the ground. Spike rolled and got up quickly, but Soarin was already on him, pinning him down. "Give up?" Soarin asked, looking into Spike's eyes. "Never," Spike said, pushing Soarin off him. He got up and tackled Soarin, knocking him down. They both struggled on the floor, exchanging punches and kicks. They were evenly matched, neither one giving up. They both continued fighting for a few more minutes until finally, Spike fell exhausted and bruised to the ground. "You did pretty well for a rookie spike." Soarin took off his gloves seeing that his hands were a little trembling. "Soarin, I think I'm leaving at this time, the old lady who picks up the trash is coming out and I want to help her." Spike tried to get up but his legs gave out. "spike why do you help people so much?" The young man with blue hair helped Spike up. "Well that's what you guys do here isn't it?" Spike didn't think much about his response, To Soarin's Surprise "What do you mean by that?" Spike's smile disappeared as he spoke, "When I was little, my mom abandoned So no one protected me when I was little." Soarin was unsure of what to say, having also experienced a tough childhood. "It must have been very difficult," he replied. "It was, But I met good people who help me And I want to do the same for other people." As they walked in silence towards the exit, Spike said goodbye and helped an old woman with her things before leaving. Soarin remembered his boss's orders and took out a cigarette from his pocket. The previous night at 3:43 PM: Soarin sat angrily in front of his boss, Shining, "This must be a bad joke, Shining." "It's not. I already told you, I'll send him to take care of my sister," Shining replied calmly while serving himself some tea and also his daughter. "But Twilight is too important for a beginner to take care of," Soarin argued, taking out a cigarette which Shining quickly took away. "There are children here. I wouldn't want someone her age taking care of my daughter," Shining said while getting up from his chair and carrying his baby. "I can never convince you, can I?" Soarin put his feet on Shining's desk. "Then let me go. There's also a vacancy for a Concierge." "You're adorable. You care so much about your students," Shining said before leaving the office and agreeing with Soarin. At the moment: "I hope I didn't screw up that boy tomorrow".
