11 Pranked and spanked
Nothing note worthy happens on his way home, but noticing an unfamiliar van at his houses doorstep he becomes suspicious and cautiously enters.
Zach hears laughing and the sound of drinks being poured. Thinking that his mother invited friends round he walks into the front room.
"HAHAHA, who would think that he's your son!"
"You didn't have to go so far though did you?"
"You really wanted me to do one huh?"
"No! Defnitely not!"
After walking in he sees Kev and his Father drinking merrily.
.What are you doing here!?!.
"I was paying a visit to return your money to ya"
.Why?.
"You really think id give a 15 year old a real tattoo? id be in prison by the end of the week!"
Zach rubs his side that's still throbbing and covered in clingfilm,
.But you used the tattoo gun on me?.
"HAHA, i didn't fill it with any ink and drew over it afterwards"
Zach's a little embarrassed at being pranked so viciously as he receives the £30.
His Father looks at him angrily,
"How dare you try to get a tattoo!, what are you thinking!?!"
.But Da-d.
Being cut off he continues,
"You also spent your money on getting something so worthless, if not for me knowing Kev you would have been scammed. Come here!"
He drags Zach over places him over his knee and begins to pull down Zach's pants to spank him.
Zach suddenly realises whats about to happen and needs to stop it before they see his tail.
.STOP, WAIT.
At his sudden outburst Zachs Father stops and looks at Zach deeply,
"Your not too old to receive a spanking, i need to discipline you!"
.I'm really embarrassed though! I'll take any other punishment!
Putting Zach down he ponders about what he can do. He honestly doesn't want to punish him but discipline is needed.
"It's not just this, I also got a call earlier today from your principle telling me your being suspended for a week!"
.I'm being framed, why would i harass other students when it's me being bullied!?!?.
"I'm not saying that i don't believe you but i don't think your teachers would lie, I'm taking away your pocket money and increasing the chores you have to do around the house. No questions asked!"
Zach is frustrated by his Fathers attitude and snaps,
.YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT'S NOT ME!.
He runs upstairs carrying the recently bought items.
Behind Zach his father still sitting sighs to himself, looking at Kev he says
"He's right, i don't understand"
Kev replies after sipping his drink,
"Hes just going through puberty, he'll grow out of it."
"I don't know, i wish Diane would act more like a mother instead of wallowing around like a waste of space."
"I can understand why she's so depressed when you have to work that job..."
They stop speaking under the sombre atmosphere and continue drinking.
Upstairs Zach is getting out the items from his bag, looking at the mask and black clothing he finally remembers something important. He needs to modify it slightly to be able to use it fully, cutting a small hole in the jeans that would allow for him to use his tail he looks at it and nods.
.I hope i don't need to use it but i need to prepare for everything.
Afterwards Zach is fitting the mask to his head, he taps it giving him a sense of satisfaction as he tests it.
.Ok, lets spin first.
Sitting at his desk he spins the dreidel,
Shua
It falls to the side revealing what looks to be a mouth,
[Congratulations host for acquiring Language comprehension. After hearing a language enough times you will adapt and learn it incomparably quicker than others]
[Please prepare for integration]
Zach sits back and closes his eyes expecting viscous pain to assault him but all he feels is a tingling on each temple, after a couple minutes it fades.
.I feel like this is going to be a useless ability, it might help with my french and Spanish classes though.
He thinks of all the mundane uses of this ability while forgetting the world record achievements that could be gained.
The system speaks up after a while,
[You have 5 points to allocate]
Zach ponders and thinks of the systems answers last time,
.Lets do 3 stamina and 2 spirit.
.Show me the status.

Looking satisfied Zach begins to research the most crime ridden places in London. He finds some suitable spots that don't seem too dangerous and lack surveillance.
.Lets go here, the news is always going on about this area and that it needs more police in it.
Putting on a hoodie over the black clothes and putting the mask and other supplies into a backpack, he heads out...
Sneaking past the room that his Dad and Kev are in, he quietly shuts the door behind him.
It isn't night yet but it will take about half an hour to get to the chosen spot, he simulates fight scenes from movies on the way. By the time he gets to the spot its already dusk,
.Now i just gotta wait around and see what happens.
...
...
...
After an hour or two of finding nothing Zach begins to search around the housing areas instead of the commercial areas. After another 10 minutes he hears a woman scream, He quickly takes his hoodie off putting it into the bag and putting on the mask.
.I still feel kinda awkward about this but fuck it!.
He runs toward the sound and reaches an ally way, peeking in he sees a drunk looking man grabbing a young woman who's wearing skimpy clothes with 2 other men watching them.
Zach positions himself against the left wall of the alleyway and approaches the back of the 2 other men.
With the lack of light it's hard to tell what they look like but this also helps him sneak up on them with ease.
Zach thinks to himself,
.Ill easily knock them out, save the girl and get her to call the cops.
Thinking this as he approaches the first man he swings his fist in an arc striking the man in the back of the head.
"Oww, who the fuck!"
The man isn't knocked unconscious, it seems to be harder to knock out these older men than the 15 year olds Zach has fought before.
The other man looks back at him and kicks him, the kick misses as Zach retreats to put the wall against his back. The woman shouts for help desperately as this is happening.
Regretting not using a weapon Zach shouts at them,
.You guys better run cuz i already called the police!.
"Ha, you think the police care if you call?"
He remembers reading an article that says that police are afraid of this area. Shit!
Zach manages to deflect a punch but receives another from the other guy, taking punch after punch his situation gradually turns grave.
He drops to his knees as they continue hitting him, the girl screaming in the background as they do this.
He gets more frustrated and angry after each hit he receives, at a certain point he pulls the dreidel from his pocket and holds it tightly as they keep beating him. A glint appears in Zach's eyes as they go blank.
.STOP!.
He shouts as his tail flicks out from under his clothes penetrating the first man through the shoulder then proceeds to wrap around his neck.
He stands slowly ignoring is bruises.
Holding the dreidel he approaches the uninjured man while grinning.
