Fighters live for their next battle. They fight until they taste the dirt of defeat. But that was never supposed to be a part of Twilight Sparkle's schedule. Once, she was a promising student for Unicorns everywhere, and now... She's a bar fighter.
She says she'll leave Ponyville one day and return to her life as an accomplished scholar. But her new "friends" at Knuckle Brick Corner have made that more difficult than it needed to be.
Now she'll either have to learn to fight or learn how to fight better. As Equestria's rising contender for the most skilled fighter. Starting at the bottom of the loser's bracket.

This story is a sequel to Fighters Don't Have Friends

We rejoin our hero, Twilight Phoenix Sparkle, stronger, faster, and madder than ever, as she takes on the professional fighters league, 'The Ring'. That only means tougher brawlers from here on out, as she attempts to reach the top and fulfill her promise to Vinyl.
Will she triumph? Or will she forever be a remnant of Vinyl Scratch's shadow? As the number one fighter of the Crystal Empire, Regal (Octavia Melody), shows her that fighting is just as predictable as sheet music. And the elusive 'King' is supposedly there as well. Which leaves just two questions. What will Twilight do when she finds him? And will she ever forgive him?

And huge thanks again to Kani for doing the sequel artwork!
