Chapter 8: The Alliance Against Cruez

[Enter Three Kingdoms Theme Song]

Twilight Sparkle and her friends screamed wildly as they entered into the Book of Ages. As they landed on the ground, they came across the Ancient Land of Ma. They all entered it as they're ready to face it. They witnessed the land was in turmoil as Imperial Court argued with each other while civil war broke out between peasants, rebels, imperials, warriors, nobles, warlords, ministers and even the Emperor.

Stallion: Through the storm,
Through the darkness,
The once peaceful kingdom
Lost its Love and Harmony
Turn into grief despair

Virtue Dragon, Blade Dragoon and Warpath Temper prayed and bowed down before the altar as they make a vow of sworn brotherhood. They joined up with various brave and compassion warriors in journeying across the land to help troubled ponies.

Azure Phoenix stood on the Imperial Palace's entrance as he held his sword up high proudly as his Imperial Phoenix Army. His army cheered wildly and proudly. They all went from territory to territory for conquest and control of the land.

Claw Tiger smiled proudly as he led his Tiger Warriors to deal with rebels. As he was dying, Claw Tiger passed the sword to his eldest son, Brave Tiger. Brave Tiger led his warriors in reclaiming Wuhu River for his clan. As he died, he passed to Courage Tiger as the new Leader of Kingdom.

Stallion: The destiny is now yours
To change its course and fate.
Heaven and Earth chose you to fulfill its purpose

Virtue Dragon helped ponies as well as showing kindness and compassion. His warriors of Western Dragon Kingdom fought bravely and determinedly to defend the innocent.

Stallion: A hero with benevolent heart
Desires a land of virtue.

Azure Phoenix recruited more of warriors and strategists under his banner. He led the Imperial Phoenix Kingdom army across the land for conquest and world domination of empire.

Stallion: A hero with great ambition
Desired a land of power and talents

Courage Tiger was in great doubt and pain about his past. Nevertheless, he stood proudly on Water Tiger military naval ship, along with others. He was leading them to defend his home.

Stallion: A hero with courageous fangs
Desired a land of unity.

Three kingdoms marched into the battlefield as they all charged into it as they began battled with each other fiercely and firmly.

Stallion: Pray its Terror Ends,
Hope the Peace Returns

Twilight Sparkle and her friends witnessed the holographic form of history records about the heroes and villains from Qin Dynasty Era into the Three Kingdoms Era. They were amazed and shocked, but sometimes angered and upset while others - pained and despair.

Stallion & Chorus: Oh, Great Warriors of the Heaven
Save us from the Demon God's Hell
May you guide us to Paradise Land
Where no blood shall ever shed again

Azure Phoenix and Han Zero stood before Royal Sisters. Both sides held each other hooves for the moment before the princesses disappeared from sights, including Han Zero. Azure Phoenix slowly turned and faced his two biggest rivals - Virtue Dragon and Courage Tiger. Three Rulers held anc crossed each other's their swords up proudly. It created the magical aura forms of Greenish Dragon, Bluish Phoenix and Crimson Tiger stood up and roared wildly as the mightiest warriors in Land of Ma!

Stallion & Chorus: Whenever we're in grave danger,
You braved to bring us home
Your deeds will not be Forgotten
Your Tale becomes Legend

Chapter 8: The Alliance Against Cruez

Azure Phoenix and his loyalists have escaped the capital while heading to his hometown - Xuchang Province. Many warlords and officers also have escaped as well.

Narrator narrated, "Having managed to elude Cruez, Azure Phoenix fled the capital. Noble Guild was forced to retreat to Griffon North as well. The other warlords also escaped the capital and returned to home which they had left behind."

Cruez laughed evilly and proudly as he continued abusing his powers for his entertainment and amusement while the Land of Ma and its ponies have suffered greatly due to poverty and starvation by the tyrant.

"As waves of tyranny washed over the capital, only the sound of Cruez's cruel laughter could be heard. It seems as if the land was doomed to be shrouded in chaos."

Azure Phoenix began raised his army while calling the rest of warlords to join the coalition against Cruez. So many soldiers are willing to join his cause.

"Yet Azure Phoenix, who was at his best in times of adversity, had already prepared his next move. He raised troops and sent a call-to-arms to the various warlords across the land. His aim was to form a coalition against Cruez."

From his old home - Claw Tiger received the invitation to join coalition. At first he refused, Brave Tiger convinced him otherwise. His siblings and officers also joined in as well. And so, the Tiger Clan agreed to the cause.

"And so, Claw Tiger was requested to participate in the alliance against the evil tyrant. With a considerable push from his son - Brave Tiger, he agreed to join the cause."

Virtue Dragon and his sworn brothers also joined the cause by recruiting the volunteers and journey to meet and join the coalition to fight against Cruez.

"Rather than lament endless chaos, Virtue Dragon wished to help ponies who were suffering. And so Virtue Dragon, Blade Dragoon, Warpath Temper and their newest ally - Dragonspear found themselves to join the allied camp."

As numerous warlords and officers joined together in coalition, they all began to march to Ma Lou Yang for a confrontation with Cruez now...

"With Noble Guild and his younger brother Greed Broke as its leaders, numerous warlords and brave souls to form a coalition and began their march on the capital to confront Cruez. Which side would emerge victorious: The harbingers of new age? Or the tyrant who epitomized the evil that men do?"

--------------------------------------------

November 150 A.E.

Twilight Sparkle and her family were at the main camp. They witnessed the large size of numerous warlords and soldiers gathered at the area. Most of the troops were training. Some were eating their foods. A few were chatting and discussing about the war and latest events. Others were having fun for their amusement and entertainment.

"Wow... Now there's what you called 'the army'," Pinkie Pie commented.

Rarity nodded, "Indeed. They really do care for the dynasty. After all, it is their kingdom."

Rainbow Dash snickered amusingly, "Can't wait to see the looks of Cruez now about this one. He's definitely get freak out over this."

Fluttershy yelped in concern, "I definitely will!"

Applejack smiled, "Well, either way, we're here to help them win the war. Cruez will be out of the picture in no time."

Twilight Sparkle spotted many soldiers were running and heading off to someplace else. While confusing her friends, she knew of what is going on.

"Girls, come on!" Twilight Sparkle called, "The speech is about to start. I just hope Azure Phoenix gives the speech. After all, it is him who gathered and united the warlords together to fight Cruez off."

Ben Valorheart chuckled, "Alright, Twilight. We're going now."

"Mummy, you do realize that Noble Guild is the leader. So, he gives the speech, not Azure Phoenix?" Nyx reminded in concern.

Twilight Sparkle sighed in disappointment, "Oh... Right. I forgot... But let's check it out."

Mane Six and their friends headed off to the stage, where soldiers and officers have been gathered for the speech. On the stage, Noble Guild and his younger grayish Griffon brother with a swirling mustache - Greed Broke stood before them.

Noble Guild cleared his throat proudly, "I am Noble Guild, leader of coalition. The reprehensible Cruez has thrown the court in chaos! This villain pretends to serve the Emperor, but only he served himself! He must be extirpated! He will be brought to justice! My allies, join me in the noble quest! We shall reclaim the capital! The Qin must return to its former glory!"

Warlords, officers and soldiers gave a loud battle cry and cheer for their leader. Azure Phoenix remained silent and calm in listening to the speech. Claw Tiger remained calm and firm as he wants to end the battle as soon as possible. Virtue Dragon and his allies looked hopeful and relieved that they have the chance to help the ponies of Ma.

Noble Guild cleared his throat, "And therefore, my first order - Claw Tiger and his Tiger Clan will lead the vanguard to invade Icing River Gate and Mighty Tiger Gate! The main force will follow their lead! And finally, Greed Broke is in-charge of supplying foods to all forces including the vanguard! Once we breakthrough two gates, then we will march to the capital and bring the villain to justice!"

CHEER!
The warlords and soldiers cheered wildly and proudly to their leader of coalition. Greed Broke hissed in anger over the order he has received. He despised it a lot.

"Now, we march!" Noble Guild shouted.

With the word has been given, the coalition force gathered and organized their army into one own group. They then marched all the way to two fortress gates of Ma Lou Yang now.

For ten days have passed since the gathering and speech, the coalition all have arrived at their destination. But the fortress was few meters away from the location. Nevertheless, they all camped for resting and recovery after their long journey especially making preparation for battles.

--------------------------------------------

In the Phoenix Camp, Azure Phoenix was having some thoughts about the latest event especially his childhood friend - Noble Guild. Navy Arrow and Armorhide were standing besides with him. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were watching the event from behind the camp.

"The nobility..." Azure Phoenix hummed thoughtfully, "His name is his strength. I must break free of this. Despite being called 'Hero of Chaos', I still felt it's not enough to make a great impact on ponies to follow my lead. Without both of you, I'm on my own to ensure this kingdom never falls again..."

"Wow there. Now, that's some speech you've got there."

Surprised by the voice, Azure Phoenix and his officers turned to their right as they found Anger leading two ponies towards him.

One was an older yet slimmed crimson Pegasus with black jet spiky mane and shot tail and his cutie mark is a blazing flame with a fist while another was a bit fatty greenish Earth Pony with brown gentlemen's mane-like and short tail and his cutie mark is stones. Two new recruits bowed before the lord.

"I can't believe..." The fatty pony said in surprise yet happy, "I'm actually meeting you! You know, the you!" He turned and looked at slimmed pony as he whispered, "the 'Hero of Chaos'!"

Slimmed Pegasus sighed in annoyance before turned to Azure Phoenix, "Sorry about my brother. He tends to get excited. And you're sure that we're good enough to serve you? We don't want to embarrass you or something, sir."

"Bro, chillax! If you wanna find out that you're good at the job, then I'd say go and show and tell about it. I mean you're 'awesome', I think, and fastest pony that I ever seen! No way he's gonna ignore it!"

"You just loved being optimistic, don't you, Lax?"

"It's what I'd do, Blaze. It's my specialty."

"Who are you both?" Azure Phoenix asked dryly.

"My name is Blazefist, Lord Phoenix," Blazefist introduced himself before turned to his brother, "And this is my brother - Laxtinct."

Laxtinct hummed and nodded happily, "But you can call him 'The Exterminator' and me 'The Sniffle Dog'!" Everyone looked at him oddly and uneasily about his attitude. He chuckled uneasily, "Yeah, I'm still working on it."

Blazefist sighed, "Sorry about that."

Azure Phoenix turned to Anger, "Anger?"

Anger smiled proudly, "You said you wanted the strength. I got us some help. These two looked like they'd be useful."

Anger looked at Blazefist, "And yes, Blazefist is quick and swift when it comes to some errands and delivery by hooves or flight especially he specialized with spears, combats and even fire." He then glanced at Laxtunct, "And for him, he's a bit odd and 'random' but he got some talents that help and alert us of incoming danger. His guts and hunches are often got it right."

Azure Phoenix looked closely at two brothers, who remained calm and steady yet uneasy and scared. After some thinking and observing on them both, he smiled gently.

"Anger's right. You're both hired," Azure Phoenix said calmly and firmly. His words surprised Blazefist of being nervous and uneasy and making Laxtinct happy. He nodded, "I am serious. But you must show me of what Anger has said. Do not disappoint."

Blazefist and Laxtinct nodded firmly, "Will do!"

Navy Arrow chuckled, "Quite the crew we've gathered, wouldn't you say, brother?"

"I guess. I'm not fond of crowds," Anger remarked dryly.

"You've always have to go and ruin my fun." Navy Arrow groaned in annoyance.

"Sir, do you believe that ending Cruez will bring peace?" Armorhide questioned humbly.

Azure Phoenix shook his head, "No. Things are not finished just because we defeated Cruez. Somepony else will take his place. I must be prepared for when the time comes. I will be needing you all more than ever. The chaos will continue until we can plant the lasting roots of peace."

Anger nodded in understanding, "You can count on us, my lord. We will help you achieve your goal, no matter the cost."

"Good. I hope Twilight Sparkle can help us as well," Azure Phoenix commented calmly. Everyone looked at him oddly. He continued, "She seems knowledgeable and intelligent pony. Her pony friends seems compatible enough to fight except the dramatic, shyness and happy idiot pony."

"What about Valorheart? He looks like a tough kid," Navy Arrow questioned.

Anger huffed, "I don't trust him especially that Alicorn. Why would they'd be here anyway? We've already cut off the ties with Western until the situation is under control."

"Who knows? The Great Mystic himself knows all," Azure Phoenix admitted, "It could be the blessings that will help us achieve the goal."

Rarity and Pinkie Pie yelped in anger, "He said what?!"

"He's right about us. We're not compatible and good at fighting," Fluttershy said in concern.

Twilight Sparkle shushed, "Calm down, you two. This Azure Phoenix doesn't know much of us. And so, we need to play cool and prove him 'wrong'."

"Good thinking," Rainbow Dash nodded. She squealed happily, "I can't believe it. Blazefist and Laxtinct are here! With those guys, they're gonna burn and rock Cruez's world! It's so awesome!"

"Rainbow Dash, they're not Mystic Ponies yet," Ben Valorheart reminded.

Applejack nodded, "True. This will help us win the war and end it good!"

"Maybe. But Azure Phoenix said that there maybe more coming here," Twilight Sparkle said in concern, "We need to be alert of everything."

"Right." Everyone nodded in agreement.

--------------------------------------------

At Tiger Clan Camp, Claw Tiger and his clan were settling and camping down for rest and preparation since they're on the front line. Anchor noticed how nervous and uneasy Apollo Python is. He approached his ally.

"What's the matter, Apollo? Nervous about fighting your former lord?" Anchor asked.

Apollo Python shook his head, "No, not really. The clan don't trust me because of my service. I feared I'm not worthy."

"Nonsense! I assure you that you are worthy to be part of the Tiger Clan! And just because you served him, doesn't mean you have to be like him."

"Hmm... Maybe you're right. Thank you, friend."

Claw Tiger was chatting with his children about the latest situation and battles.

"This is quite the crew that's been assembled here. We've been charged with vanguard in the battle. Looks like we've got some respects!" Brave Tiger said proudly, "I've always knew you had it in you, father!"

Claw Tiger sighed, "Not really. I'm just doing my job to ensure this land and you all have better future. It's never about glory, son."

"I know. I know. I just want you and our clan get some respect after all of the missions and battles we have done. That's all."

"I know. But family comes first, not glory. Always remember that."

Brave Tiger sighed, "Got it. I won't forget it."

Claw Tiger smiled while patted his oldest son's head, "That's my son. I want you and your sister be careful out there."

Tigress groaned in annoyance. "Don't worry, father. I can take care of myself. You just need to look after Courage. He's the hopeless one."

"Hey," Courage Tiger was offended. He sighed, "Anyway, but we really need to be careful. Devil Destroyer and Arrowhead are two of the fiercest warriors in the land, we may not make it out alive."

"Let them try! The Tiger Clan can handle them!" The filly's voice exclaimed proudly, making the Tiger Family yelped in surprise. They turned to their back and found Aquastroke worn the armors. She smiled innocently, "Hi."

Claw Tiger groaned, "Oh no! Aqua! What I did tell you before?"

"I can handle it. I don't want to sit around and do nothing," Aquastroke said dryly, "And besides, guarding home is so boring! I want some action!"

"Guarding Wuhu River is too important. You shouldn't have left it unguarded!" Courage Tiger scolded Aquastroke, "What were you thinking?!"

"Hey! I was talking to my father, whinny! Not you! So back off!"

"Watch it, little brat! I'm your brother! Respect it!"

"Respect to my asses!"

"Why you little!"

Courage Tiger and Aquastroke were about to fight, Brave Tiger intervened, "Okay, enough with the fight. For now, we need to focus on our mission. We can't be distracted now by one little problem."

Tigress nodded, "Brave is right. Maybe, Aqua should stick with us now. And don't worry, we'll look after out little cub."

"Hey! I'm 15 years old, Tigress," Aquastroke said dryly, "I'm not a baby!"

Tigress giggled while holding Aquastroke close to her, "Aw. I know. I couldn't resist it. And Tiger sisters need to stick together."

Aquastroke smiled, "Yeah. I guess."

Claw Tiger sighed, "Alright. That settles it. Watch out for anything especially two fiercest warriors. We don't know how strong they can be."

Courage nodded, "Yeah. I agree."

Twilight Sparkle and her friends watched the event behind at the dragon stables. They were all shocked and surprised of it.

"Wow. That is something," Rarity said in surprise, "Aquastroke really loves fighting."

Rainbow Dash scoffed, "Of course. That's one thing I like about her. She's tough and strong especially good in running and flying. Nopony messes with her."

"Well, you'd better stick with her. She's still young. She's not the same," Twilight Sparkle suggested firmly and concern.

Applejack nodded in agreement, "Yeah. She's part of Tiger Clan."

Rainbow Dash sighed, "Yeah. I won't let her out of my sights. Never gonna happen."

--------------------------------------------

At Virtue Dragon's camp, Virtue Dragon and his soldiers were settling down and camping for resting.

Warpath Temper was training and sparring with Dragonspear - a young light blue Pegasus with spiky brown mane and tail in a ponytail, and dressed in green armor, his cutie mark is a spear and Chinese Dragon. Warpath Temper used his ferocity and strength in attacking while Dragonspear used speed and agility in defense. They're both very good. They stopped the training.

"Not bad, kid. Not bad," Warpath Temper commented, "You've got some skills."

Dragonspear smiled and bowed humbly, "Thank you, Lord Warpath. And it is an honor to fight alongside with you and Lord Virtue. I'd never thought that I have the chance to work with you."

"But you're working for mayor, aren't you?"

"True. But all of you are working together with Mayor White, aren't you? After all, Mayor White and Virtue Dragon were close friends."

"Good point. I just can't believe Virtue gave that position up. He earned it. What a waste!"

"You can't blame him for this. Mayor White is good at politics while Virtue Dragon just want to help ponies out. That's all."

"And again, good point. But we need to do something for brother that he is worthy to be hero. I've seen one or two famous faces around the coalition."

"Indeed." Blade Dragoon agreed as he entered in the scene. He continued, "Not only do we have Noble Guild, the leader or coalition, but its instigator - Azure Phoenix, as well. Greed Broke, Claw Tiger... Quite a list of dignitaries."

Dragonspear nodded in understanding, "I see. But what about our lords?"

Blade Dragoon sighed, "Our brother is still unknown. At least until we defeat Cruez here today, that is."

Warpath Temper smirked and nodded, "Of course, it's all to help brother make a name for himself.! Any personal satisfaction I get is merely a bonus."

Dragonspear sighed, " Lord Warpath, we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Our action reflects Lord Virtue Dragon and Mayor White, whether for better and worse."

"Indeed. Don't do anything stupid and violent again, brother," Blade Dragoon scolded Warpath Temper dryly.

Warpath Temper groaned, "You'd think I don't know that? Man, you guys need to lighten up a little."

Mayor White and Virtue Dragon were talking and chatting about the situation especially the position they're in.

"I've gotta say, Virtue. I'm honored that you've let me become a mayor," Mayor White said calmly, "but it's your job. Han gave it to you, not me."

Virtue Dragon sighed, "I know. I don't deserve it. He's gone. I should have been there to help him."

"Virtue, if there's one thing about Commander Han, he'd be damn angry and fierce to be sure that you lived, not died for his sake but ponies of this land. And I suggest you that we work together and defend the ponies at all cost."

"I see. I guess you're right, White. I just missed him a lot."

"I know. Most of us do. Han is a true hero of this land. And now, we must save this kingdom before it crumbled and ponies died."

"Yes. The ponies are suffering at the paws of Cruez. We must defeat him in order to save them."

"Let us do our best, old friend."

Twilight Sparkle and her friends overheard it from the supply depot. They were smiling in relief that another group of friends also joined the battlefield as well.

"Well, things just got interesting," Pinkie Pie commented.

Ben Valorheart nodded, "Yeah. Lots of good ponies joined to fight and defeat Cruez. And hopefully, he's the only problem to deal with."

"Let's hope so." Fluttershy hissed, "I've seen enough of fighting and wanna go home too."

Phobos sighed, "If we ever get home..."

Nyx nodded, "Yeah. It's gonna be long chapter because lots of Mystic Ponies to know and understand..."

--------------------------------------------

At Ma Lou Yang's Private Chamber, Cruez was sitting on his throne chair as he was listening to the latest reports. Devil Destroyer, Arrowhead and his three Diamond Dog loyalists - one was a German Shepherd worn the purple general's armor - Snarl, an APBT worn a heavy purple armor - Bolder and lastly a chihuahua humanoid worn the advisor robe - Tricky were there to listen the latest report.

Diamond Dog Soldier reported to his commander,"The Allied Forces, under Noble Guild, are headed here - the city of Ma Lou Yang!"

Cruez snarled as he threw his cup down hard, making Diamond Dog Soldier moved away while his generals and advisors remained firm and calm.

Cruez snarled once more, "Bastards! They will regret this! They don't stand a chance against us."

Snarl hummed, "What do you propose we do?"

"Simple. I have two mightiest warriors in the land - Devil Destroyer and Arrowhead." Cruez gave a cruel grin as he turned to Devil Destroyer. This cannot fail! "Go, Devil. Teach them a lesson for defying me!"

Devil Destroyer nodded but Arrowhead moved to the front as he protest, "With all due respect, lordship, I should be leading our forces, not this puppy."

Devil Destroyer snarled angrily, "What?!"

"Arrowhead, don't be disrespectful to my secret weapon. He will be perfect to defeat them." Cruez said to Arrowhead. Devil Destroyer will make mince meat out of the enemy.

"My lord, I have served you faithfully for many years including taking care of Han Zero. So, you wouldn't mind me to lead the vanguard." Arrowhead said, trying to reason with the over confident Cruez. "I''d be glad to take their heads and show these rebels of who's the true masters!"

Cruez hummed thoughtfully, "Very well. Seems you're already hotblooded. I'll let you lead the vanguard. Both Snarl and Bolder will act as your Second and Third-in-Command. Defend Icing River Gate! You will take 20,000 soldiers!"

"Lord!" Snarl and Bolder exclaims in salute and determination.

"Go forth now!"

Arrowhead smirked proudly as he led both Snarl and Bolder out of the throne chamber. Three of them were preparing for the battle now.

Arrowhead scoffed, "Step forward, insects! While I stand, none shall breach the gate! Come and get me!"

At the outskirt of Icing River Gate, Arrowhead led 20,000 soldiers out as they were battling and engaging with the Tiger Clan, who were both in offense and defense. They have been at war for five days.

Claw Tiger led Courage Tiger and Apollo Python in fighting against the enemies. Brave Tiger, Tigress, Anchor and Aquastroke were defending the camp. The Tiger Clan fought against the enemies fiercely and determinedly.

Claw Tiger rode his white dragon across the battlefield as he swung his Tiger Sword in defeating his enemies. Courage Tiger followed his father while dodging and defeating his enemies. Just joined the Tiger Clan, Apollo Python was determined to defend his master at all cost by charging and knocking the enemies off.

Brave Tiger used his Tiger Tonfa in knocking and bashing his enemies off. Both Tigress and Aquastroke, using their speed and agility gracefully, dodged and defeated their enemies with both twin Chakrams and Tiger Claws. Anchor swung his giant anchor in knocking his enemies off hard while defending the camp.

Arrowhead, proud and confident, charged at his enemies by firing his arrows at them while swinging his pike at his enemies off. Snarl clawed and struck his enemies off by his claws. Bolder defend the Icing River Gate, with his mace an shield firmly and determinedly.

Claw Tiger and his units have arrived at the gate as they were engaging with the enemies bravely and firmly. Bolder firmly engaged with his enemies especially having a duel with Claw Tiger. Both generals swung their sword and mace at each other swiftly yet ferocity for few times especially dodging the attacks.

While Claw Tiger was distracted in his duel with Bolder, Snarl slowly and sneakingly approach his enemy as the Diamond Dog was about to attack him. Courage Tiger spotted it but unable to stop him as he was engaging with enemy troops. But luckily, Apollo Python intercepted Snarl by ramming him off to the ground.

Snarl snarled in anger, "I should have kill you when I have the chance, traitor!"

Apollo Python scoffed, "I'd never have a heart to serve that stupid pig! At least, Lord Claw Tiger has proven himself a better leader than he is!"

"You will regret that, ass!" Snarl exclaims furiously at the insult.

Snarl roared as he charged and engaged Apollo Python, who blocked and deflected the attacks before swung his pike at the Diamond Dog, who blocked and struck back at his enemy.

Brave Tiger and his group continued defending the camp from his enemies. Arrowhead arrived at the area as he was charging straight at his targets. He defeated and killed the troops at ease and swift. He came towards Anchor, who swung his anchor in knocking his enemy's mount. However, Anchor got kicked to the ground by Arrowhead.

Arrowhead was about to finish his enemy off, but intercepted by Aquastroke, who glared at him. He chuckled amusingly.

"My, my, what do we have here? A little cub?" Arrowhead ask with a little chuckle of amusement.

Aquastroke groaned in irritation, "You're messing with the wrong cub, pal!"

Aquastroke screamed as he swung her Tiger Claws at Arrowhead, who dodged and avoided the attack at ease while toying with her by using his pike's pole in hitting her head for few rounds. As she tried to jump and thrust her claws at him, he grabbed and thrown her to the ground.

"What a disappointment. Is that all you've got?" Arrowhead ask, shaking his head in amusement. If this is what this brat has gotten, then she may as well lie down and die right now.

"Yeah! Don't mess with the wrong Tiger, pal!" Brave Heart yells out angrily all of the sudden.

Arrowhead turned and found Brave Tiger slammed his Tonfa at his face to the ground. Tigress joined by swung her chakrams at him but missed. He got up and engaged with both Brave Tiger and Tigress by swinging and blocking his pike against them, who ferociously swung their blades at him for few rounds. Aquastroke also joined in the battlefield as well.

Nevertheless, Arrowhead was confidently and bravely dodged and deflected the attacks before knocked three Tiger Warriors out.

"Is that best you can come up with? I'm so disappointed!" Arrowhead brags arrogantly.

Anchor swung his anchor in knocking Arrowhead. He and his soldiers came and joined with Tiger Clan. They all ready to fight.

Arrowhead was about to fight but heard soldiers' shouting. He turned and found Claw Tiger and his unit were on their way back.

Arrowhead groaned, "Unbelievable! We have no choice. Fall back!"

Arrowhead and his group quickly escaped and retreated back to Icing River Gate. Claw Tiger and his unit has arrived and regroup with his allies. They all chatted in relief that everyone is safe from harm.

-------------------------

Within main camp's chamber, Arrowhead invited both Snarl and Bolder for making plans.

"What are we gonna do now? The Tiger Clan is still here! We need to push them back! We can't let them breakthrough our base!" Bolder exclaims frantically to Arrowhead. If Cruez finds out about this, he will have all their heads.

Snarl snarled, "I didn't even get the chance in getting that traitor. Damn it! He gave me an eye a scar!"

"Don't worry. We will get our revenge. The supply hasn't arrive at the Tiger Clan Camp. It's the perfect chance. By night, we attack them. A pretty obvious tactic." Arrowhead said in determination. If his army attacks at night, then the enemy don't have a chance!

"Sounds good to me." Bolder said with a nod, liking the idea.

"Yeah. I would like to give him piece of my mind!" Snarl remarks sinisterly and eagerly. The traitor dies tonight!

----------------

During the night time, Tiger Clan faced the critical situation - they're having supply problem. They have no food to eat.

"We're hungry! No food! We're going to die here!" The Tiger Clan Soldiers complained. There is no food or whatever. They can't move without it!

Brave Tiger groaned, "This isn't going so well for us."

"I don't think we can hold this much longer. We can't hold the front line much longer if we don't get the supply now." Anchor complains sadly.

"Never fear, my brave warriors. I will ensure you receive your supplies. For now, you must fight." Claw Tiger said to his soldiers, encouraging them not to worry for now.

"Yeah! You're right! Go Claw Tiger! "The soldiers cheered and supported for Claw Tiger. He's right. They should get their supplies eventually!

Courage Tiger hummed, "Supply Transportation is Greed Broke's responsibility. What could be keeping him?"

Aquastroke scoffed, "I'd bet he's jealous of our father that he is better than Greed! After all, our father is the best in leading the front line."

"That's one reason to put it. But that jerk has no right to keep the supply for us." Tigress said with a deep frown, not liking this. "It's for everyone else. I'd like to give him piece of my mind."

"So am I." Brave Tiger remarks in agreement with TIgress. Greed Broke is going to be in trouble for being late or worst!

Claw Tiger sighed, "Everyone, easy. I will speak with him myself." Everyone complained in anger. "If we don't get the supply soon, our soldiers will lose heart and will to fight."

Twilight Sparkle and her friends overheard the event as they looked at each other.

"We've gotta do something." Twilight said in worry. Without the food, the fight is lost.

"Right! No food means fallen soldiers!" Applejack exclaims in agreement.

"Right, I mean who wanna fight on an empty stomach?!" Pinkie exclaims, feeling her stomach. "I sure as hay don't wanna!"

"I'd say we go to that stupid Greed Broke and teach him a lesson now." Rainbow remarks with an annoyed scowl.

"Right, that ruffian needs to be taught some manners." Rarity said, agreeing with Rainbow's train of thought.

"Right, uh, because he's mean?" Fluttershy ask shyly.

"Good idea. But some of us have to be here and help Tiger Clan. Applejack and I will go since we're good at negotiation." Twilight said thoughtfully. Some of the group should help the Tiger Clan while the rest check on Greed Broke.

"I would like to give that jerk piece of my mind. But Aqua and her family need us." Rainbow said with a frown. As much as she wanna go punish Greed Broke, Aqua comes first.

"Well, all right, you be careful." Ben said to Twilight and Applejack as Nyx and Phobos nodded.

"Yeah, Greed Broke may not be easily convinced." Spike said in agreement.

Twilight Sparkle and Applejack headed off to find and meet up with Greed Broke, who was close to the Coalition's Main Camp. They have arrived at the area, where were heavily guarded by Griffon Guards.

"We're here to speak with Greed Broke now." Twilight said to the guards confidentally.

Applejack nodded, adding, "Yeah. It's about the supply transportation. Unless you wanna speak with Claw Tiger, I'd suggest you let us in."

Griffon Guards looked uneasy and concern yet alerted that they don't want to mess with him. They allowed and led the girls to Greed Broke, who was counting the money.

"I hope we're not interrupting, Mr. Greed Broke." Twilight said, causing Greed Broke to look up in alarm upon seeing her.

Greed Broke yelped, "What the-?! What are you doing here?!"

"Talking. Unless you have good reason, you deliver the supplies to Tiger Clan now. You do not want to make them angry especially Claw Tiger." Applejack said sternly to the pony.

Greed Broke yelped nervously, "Sorry! I have! I've been watched and spied by the enemy. If you want to help Tiger Clan, then deal with the enemies."

"That explains why Arrowhead kept on attacking our place in the first place."

"It sure is. Let's deal with them now. And you're thinking what I'm thinking?" Twilight ask Applejack thoughtfully.

Applejack smirked as she answers, " Yeah. Time to use our secret weapon."

"Leave this to us. So, get the supply ready and sent to him."

"What about the enemies?! You can't just let them come and attack us!" Greed Broke protests in alarm. Letting the enemy come and attack is suicide!

"We've got the plans." Applejack said to Greed Broke confidentially. A plan is already underway!

"Greed, we need to-!" Claw Tiger exclaims as he arrives, but stopped, "Twilight? Applejack? What are you doing here?"

"We've got the supply." Twilight explains to Claw Tiger with a smile.

As instructed, Greed Broke have gathered and sent the supplies off to Tiger Clan. His Griffon Guards were guarding and transporting them now. Twilight Sparkle and Applejack were with them. They suddenly got attacked by Snarl, Bolder and their Diamond Dogs.

"About time you make a move." Snarl said evilly, much to the heroes' alarm.

"Any last word before we take the supply?" Bolder ask evilly. This is perfect, getting rid of the enemy and getting the supply, all in one swoop!

Twilight Sparkle smirked as she summoned glowing screen of Rarity, who whined and complained out loud. This make Diamond Dogs yelped and screamed in pain. Thus, easy for the Griffons get and delivered the supply to their allies in time.

At Tiger Clan Camp, the Tiger Soldiers were eating and enjoying their dinner happily.

"Thank you, my friend. I owe you." Claw Tiger said to the future ones gratefully.

"You're welcomed! Yeah, no problem!" The heropes said as they welcomed Claw Tiger that they helped him out.

"Nice going, girls. We've got what we need. And so far, Arrowhead hasn't make his move." Rainbow said with a smirk. Arrowhead didn't make a move yet, everypony's fed, all's good!

"Right, but shouldn't we be worry that he may cause trouble?" Fluttershy ask her friends worried.

"Who knows if he's going to attack or not?" Phobos remarks with a deep frown.

"He'll be." Twilight said with a deep frown. Arrowhead isn't going to go down without a fight just yet!

----------------------

The Tiger Clan were still unable to breach the Icing River Gate as it still remained defended by Arrowhead and their minions. Coalition Main Force have arrived and assisted their allies by sending the best warriors to fight.

However, none of the warriors able to kill Arrowhead, whom has defeated and killed them one-by-one in a single duel.

Noble Guild and his generals were seated and watching the event from the stage.

Arrowhead laughed, "What's the matter? Out of warriors? I'm disappointing!"

Noble Guild groaned, "Pitiful! Is there anyone who can defeat him?!" He groaned, disappointed by the lack of warriors, "If only my best generals - Strucker and Bombard were here, they could take him down at ease."

Everyone chatted in concern and worry as they wondered of how they can stop and defeat Arrowhead.

Aquastroke groaned, "I can take him down. After all, I did fight him."

Blazefist huffed skeptically, "Doubtful."

"What was that?!"

"You're just kid and a recruit, and obviously has no experience in war, kiddo."

"Son of the-!" Aquastroke growls, wanting to kick Blazefist's flank for insulting her like that.

"Aqua!" The Tiger Clan exclaims, stopping Aqua from doing anything reckless that could get her hurt!

"He started it. And besides, nopony mocked the tiger especially me!"

Blazefist sarcastically remarks, "And I'm just scardy little cat."

Laxtinct, the past version, sighs, "Do you have to be mean to her? She's cute."

"She is not, Lax. She's just immature brat."

Navy Arrow whistled in amusement, "Wow. Blaze sure knows how to be popular with girls."

"Well, he did the right thing." Ange remarks dryly.

"Wow, and this is the first meeting between those two?" Applejack whispers to her friends, amazed of Aqua and Blaze's first meeting.

"They don't seem to like each other." Nyx whispered in concern.

"Relax, Nyx. In the future, they will be an interesting pairing." Rarity said with a happy sigh.

"Unless another girl gets involved and Aqua becomes wanting both." Phobos chuckles. He yelps as Nyx hits him in irritation. "What?"

Another family pony, Blade Dragoon, hummed, "My lord! Allow me to challenge him!"

"Who are you?" Noble Guild ask a bit puzzled upon seeing Blade as he never saw him before.

"Blade Dragoon: I am Blade Dragoon - soldier to Virtue Dragon and Mayor White."

Greed Broke laughed as if being told a very bad joke, "A soldier?! Please. You'll be dead in the minute."

Warpath Temper scowls furiously, "Oh yeah?! Let me tell you something, you backstabbing jackass weasel, who is jealous of everything, you're nothing but a greedy coward, who asked ponies to do a dirty job while you act like a chicken than the Griffon, chicken boy!"

Everyone was in shock and surprise. They then laughed amusingly.

"Chicken Boy?! I'll get you for that, drunkard b******!" Greed Broke scowls, all pissed off. No one insults him and gets away with it!

Warpath Temper stuck his tongue out, taunting, "Make me."

"Enough." Azure said, interrupting before the confrontation gets uglier. He turns to Blade Dragoon and spoke, "Tell me, can you truly defeat him?"

"If I lose, execute me." Blade Dragoon said to Azure with a bow.

Azure Phoenix smiled as he levitated a warm wine, speaking, "Very well. Drink this before you go."

"I will. After I've done with him!"

Mounting his dragon steed, Blade Dragoon moved to the front of the main camp. He stood firmly and proudly as he armed with his Blue Dragon Blade. He then faced at Arrowhead.

"Who are you?" Arrowhead ask the newcomer puzzled yet annoyed.

"Ready to challenge. Come and face me!" Blade Dragon brags to Arrowhead in determination.

"Alright. I'll take it easy on you!"

Arrowhead gave a battle cry as he charged at Blade Dragoon, who armed and readied to engage him. Unfortunately, his attacks were blocked and deflected by Blade Dragoon twice. And just before he could do anything, Blade Dragoon decapitated him at ease.

"The enemy general Arrowhead has before me! I fight in the name of my brother!" Blade Dragoon exclaims with a laugh of triumph.

Everyone was in shock and surprise of what they just saw. They couldn't believe of what they just saw - Blade Dragoon actually defeated Arrowhead.

Diamond Dogs yelped in shock and fear. They all whined fearfully as they all turned and trotted in fear. They all running away. The Coalition Officers and Soldiers cheered wildly and happily.

"Wow, he is so awesome!" Rainbow exclaims eagerly with a mad laugh.

"I gotta admit. I would never do something like that." Ben said in amazement. Even with all his years of training, it would be impossible to do what Blade just did!

"And that's saying something!" Pinkie laughs as she bounces in one place.

Everyone gathered at the main camp, where they congratulated Blade Dragoon for defeating Arrowhead.

Brave Tiger whistled, "Now there's the man that'd be worth fighting."

"He's magnificent." Claw Tiger said impressed. Even some of the soldiers who doubted him came to undoubt him.

Courage Tiger nodded, commenting, "Yeah. He really is strong and powerful."

Aquastroke giggled before smirk at Blazefist to taunt, "Guess you miss the shot."

Blazefist groaned while looking away, "Whatever..."

"Hey, don't you dare look away, jerk!"

Azure Phoenix passed the warm wine to Blade Dragoon, praising, "Well done, Blade Dragoon. I am impressed."

"I am honored." Blade Dragoon said, giving another bow to the future Lord of Ma.

Blade Dragoon drank the warm wine proudly. His brothers came and praised him proudly and happily for his achievement.

Anger groaned in anger, "We don't need him..."

"Oh boy..." Navy said with a sigh, disbelieved by Anger's comment.

"Didn't know he'd be jealous type." Laxtinct said in agreement. Anger should at least chill out!

"With his general being defeated, our soldiers' morale is rising and ready for anything!" Noble Guild exclaims to his troops in determination. "I am certain that Cruez would be shaking in his boots by now! Prepare for the next battle! We now shall march to Mighty Tiger Gate!"

Everyone cheered wildly and proudly that they're gonna win the battle now.

"Well, girls, looks like we got a chance now." Twilight said to her friends and family in hope.

"Right, as long as Cruez doesn't find a major way to retaliate by bringing Devil Destroyer in." Ben said, knowing that Cruez won't be happy when he finds out about this.

"Awww, you worry too much!" Pinkie exclaims with a happy giggle. "What's the odds of that happening?! Aaaaand I just jinx it, did it?"

-----------

At the Ma Lou Yang's Private Chamber, Cruez received the reports from both Snarl and Bolder about Arrowhead's death and the loss of Icing River Gate. The Diamond Dog Prime Minister roared wildly and angrily, making the generals yelped in concern while bowing down hard.

Cruez screamed in anger, "Unacceptable! This is unacceptable!"

"Forgive us, Lord Cruez!" Snarl and Bolder pleaded while bowed down to the ground, "Please, forgive us!"

Cruez snarled, "If these rebels think that they have won at the Icing River Gate, they'd better think twice. It's time to show these fools of who they're dealing with! We march to the Mighty Tiger Gate now!"

"I swear to you that I will bring victory back!" Snarl snarled proudly.

Bolder nodded, "Yeah! The next time we see them, we'll crush them for good!"

"Good..." Cruez nodded firmly as he turned to Devil Destroyer, "Now, my son. Lead the army! Show them your true might! Defeat anyone that stands in your way!"

Devil Destroyer nodded firmly, "I'll bring swift end to them for good! They won't get away from us that easily."

Tricky chuckled evilly, "Before you do, my lord, we need something that will demoralized him."

"What would that be?" Cruez asked amusingly.

Tricky smirked, "You'll love this one..."

--------------------------------------------

At the Coalition Main Camp, Noble Guild and Greed Broke received the message from Cruez. As they both read it carefully, they gasped and yelped in shock and pain. They both screamed and cried in pain. The generals and ministers came and checked on their leaders if they were okay or not. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were outside while eavesdropping on the event.

"What's going on?" Nyx asked in concern.

Spike hissed, "I can tell you one thing - it's bad news."

Noble Guild slowly recovered from the shock while showing his anger. He slammed his clenched claws on the table hard.

"Cruez! You won't get away with this! Our father... Our uncle... Our cousins... They will be avenged!" Noble Guild exclaimed in anger. He stood up straight, "Loyal Soldiers of Qin! We will strike at the heart of Mighty Tiger Gate! And no matter what, we cannot stop until we have the head of traitor! To war!"

The Coalition Officers and Soldiers gave a loud battle cry and cheers. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked uneasy and concern.

"Something tells me that this fight is gonna tense," Rainbow Dash remarked uneasily.

Pinkie Pie nodded, "Yeah. Especially I jinx twice today when we have to deal with Devil Destroyer. This is gonna be pain to our flanks!"

--------------------------------------------

On the next day's dawn, the Coalition Forces have lay the siege on the Mighty Tiger Gate. They all charged towards the gate as they were trying to breakthrough the gate or even trying to climb over the walls, with the help of siege ram and ladders. The military officers have also joined the battlefield as well. However, Diamond Dogs fought back as fierce and hard as they can to protect and prevent their castle from falling!

Twilight Sparkle and her friends joined in the battlefield as well, to assist their friends to win the battlefield.

Throughout whole day for laying the siege on Mighty Tiger Gate, the Coalition have finally break through as the gate brought down. The soldiers of Coalition gave a battle cry as they all charged and marched into the gate.

Pinkie Pie cheered, "Woohoo! We did it! This is easy."

"Pinkie, don't you get tired to jinx?!" Rainbow Dash asked in annoyance.

"It can't be that bad," Phobos asked amusingly.

While running through the gate, the Coalition Soldiers screamed in fear and pain as they all got slaughtered and pushed out from it. The remaining forces remained vigilant as they readied to fight. They all yelped in shock and fear upon looking at something marching out from the gate. They saw Devil Destroyer riding his famous dragon steed - Red Hare.

"Honestly, stop using 'easy' or 'how bad it can be' again," Spike said dryly, "I am so tired of getting jinx."

Nyx sighed, "Tell me about it."

(Dynasty Warriors - Lu Bu Theme Song Played!)

"Is that who I think it is?!" The Noble Guild's Soldier #1 asked in fear.

The Tiger Clan Soldier #2 squeaked in fear, "It's Devil Destroyer! The Demon Warrior has come to destroy us!"

"Run for your life now!" The Azure Phoenix's Soldier exclaimed in fear and worry.

Devil Destroyer roared in anger as he charged into the battle. While riding his dragon steed in ramming and knocking the Coalition Soldiers off, he swung his halberd fiercely and wildly in defeating and slaughtering them to pieces one-by-one. He even attacked some of military officers as well.

The Coalition Army was in shock and demoralized by Devil Destroyer's rampage and attacks. They were forced to flee and run away from the fight.

"Well, that went well," Rarity remarked sarcastically.

"This isn't good," Twilight Sparkle said in concern, "We won't have a chance against him!"

Fluttershy squeaked fearfully, "Here we go again! Why do we have to fight Devil Destroyer?"

"Because he owned Shining Armor a duel?!" Pinkie Pie asked fearfully. She yelped, "Oops! Wrong reference! That's for Power Master's MLP Mystic Universe, not here!"

Snarl, Bolder and even Bladestrike - a blackish-grayish mixed Pegasus with musketeer's cyan mustache and goatee worn the Imperial Phoenix Armor, with a navy scarf and an ancient musketeer's helmet-like, his cutie mark is a fierce tiger with crossed axes, emerged from the Mighty Tiger Gate. They all armed with their weapons.

"Look at that," Snarl growled, "That Devil is taking all the glory! We can't let him have it all!"

Bolder hissed, "I agreed. I refuse to let someone like him get the kill especially the traitor."

Bladestrike huffed, "Do as you wish. I will assist my lord at all cost. To battle!"

Snarl, Bolder and Bladestrike charged into the battlefield. Snarl swung his giant axe at his enemy soldiers. Bolder swung his twin maces in knocking and pounding them off hard. Bladestrike was following and helping his master as he swung his twin axes in defeating them off. Three of them eventually engaged with other enemies now.

Snarl snarled, "I have you now, traitor! Prepare to die!"

"I'm ready for you," Apollo Python said firmly.

Anchor nodded, "You won't do it alone, my friend!"

Snarl was battling both Anchor and Apollo Python, using their giant anchor-like club and pike, they quickly blocked the attacks while fighting back at him. Bolder swung his maces at both Navy Arrow and Tigress, who fought back at him fiercely and determinedly. As Bladestrike continued battling his enemies, he got pushed off from his dragon steed to the ground. He looked up and found Blazefist and Laxtinct, armed with their Falcon Spear and Rock Hammer.

"So, this is where you've gone to," Bladestrike asked dryly, "I could either be proud or disappoint by the path you have taken."

Blazefist huffed, "I wish I could say the same thing about you." He gritted in anger, "Father..."

"How about that we just work things out like chitchat?" Laxtinct asked hopefully.

Bladestrike shook his head, "In battlefield, you do not talk, you fight till one survive and win the duel!"

"That's the plan..." Blazefist said dryly. He then found Aquastroke jumped over him while kicked Bladestrike off. As she landed on the ground, he snarled, "Hey, kid! Back off! This is my fight! Not yours!"

Aquastroke rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Blah-blah-blah! You all talk too much!"

Bladestrike scoffed before smiled, "The child is right. We talk too much. Prepare yourself!"

Bladestrike roared wildly, scaring both Laxtinct and Aquastroke off. He charged while swinging his axes in knocking them both off. He then thrust his at Blazefist, who quickly deflected the attack off. Both of them swung and struck their weapons at each other fiercely and determinedly while dodging and blocking the attacks. Laxtinct and Aquastroke recovered from their fallout as they joined and assist Blazefist in a duel against Bladestrike, who remained strong and determined in fighting back.

Some of Coalition Officers tried to fight Devil Destroyer, but they got defeated and killed at once by his halberd in decapitation and slashing on body and limbs. Not even Brave Tiger and Anger were able to defeat him, they both got injured and wounded by him badly.

Noble Guild hissed, "Devil Destroyer is too strong! At this rate, we won't have the chance to break through the Mighty Tiger Gate."

"The battle is yet over," Azure Phoenix said calmly and firmly.

On the battlefield, Twilight Sparkle and her friends helped and assisted some soldiers in escaping for recovery and medical treatment. However, Devil Destroyer was close to them as he rammed Mayor White off from his White Dragon Steed. Demon Warrior dismounted his ride while approaching Mayor White.

The mayor was about to get killed. Ben Valorheart and Rainbow Dash jumped in while using Master Sword and Nunchucks in blocking the attacks. Applejack jumped and gave a headbutt on Devil Destroyer, making the latter grunted a bit.

"Humph! Is that the best you lot have?!" Devil Destroyer demanded in anger while groaned, "I'm still disappointing!"

Ben Valorheart groaned, "Back off, jerk!"

Rainbow Dash grunted, "Yeah! We won't let you win!"

Devil Destroyer huffed, "Think again!"

Devil Destroyer roared as he swung his halberd hard in knocking Ben Valorheart and Rainbow Dash off. He was about to slam his halberd at them but blocked by Warpath Temper's Serpentine Spear.

"Hey, back off!" Warpath Temper snarled as he pushed his spear in pushing back Devil Destroyer off. He scoffed, "Why don't you somepony on your size?!"

"A worthy opponent?" Devil Destroyer asked with a scoff, "Now this is a descent challenge! Bring it on, now!"

Warpath Temper roared wildly, "Warpath 'Bob Papenbrook' Temper will not fall! Bring it on, b******!"

Both Devil Destroyer and Warpath Temper roared out loud as they both charged and clashed theirs at each other briefly. They then departed from the clash. They both swung and clashed theirs at each other fiercely and determinedly for few rounds. After few rounds of clashes, Warpath Temper jumped up while slammed his Serpentine Spear on Devil Destroyer's top, but missed. Demon Warrior rolled to the front while grabbing the warrior by head. Devil Destroyer thrown Warpath Temper to the ground hard.

Devil Destroyer was about to finish Warpath Temper off, but swiftly blocked and deflected by Dragonspear. Using his agility and speed, he dodged the attacks swiftly while striking back at the Demon Warrior, who blocked and deflected the attacks. Warpath Temper got up and joined his friend in the duel. Though both outnumbered Devil Destroyer, the Demon Warrior gained the upper hand.

Blade Dragoon arrived to the scene as he jumped and slammed his Blue Dragon Crescent Blade at Devil Destroyer from the back. However, Demon Warrior evaded the attacks by swinging his blade against both Warpath Temper and Dragonspear at him hard. Though three of them fell to the ground hard, they recovered and attacked him fiercely and determinedly. However, Devil Destroyer managed to overcome them for ten rounds later.

Seeing his allies attacked, Virtue Dragon charged into the battlefield, "Blade! Warpath! Dragonspear! I'm coming!" He jumped up high while kicking Devil Destroyer's chest for few turns. He landed on the ground while standing besides with them, "Together, we will overcome the demon!"

"Right!" Blade Dragoon, Warpath Temper and Dragonspear nodded.

Devil Destroyer scoffed, "Now this is more like it! Let's finish this!"

Virtue Dragon and his sworn brothers charged right at Devil Destroyer, who remained firm and confident. They charged and attacked him on every side by brutal, speed and working together as a team. However, he managed in blocking and deflecting the attacks while knocking and defeating them one-by-one. Despite his prowess and strength, Virtue Dragon and his sworn brothers refused to give and continue their battles fiercely.

The Battle of Mighty Tiger Gate continued raging on as neither side have shown gaining the upper hand. Cruez was watching the battlefield as he sees that more of Coalition Soldiers were joining into the battlefield. It makes him nervous and worry that he won't able to overcome them.

"We have no choice," Cruez snarled in concern, "Retreat now!"

Tricky nodded in understanding as he banged the gong hard, "Pull back! Pull back!"

Hearing the gong, the Diamond Dogs quickly make their escapes at once including Snarl, Bolder and Bladestrike. Devil Destroyer also heard it as he made a whistle call. Red Hare came to him. He mounted his dragon steed while looking at Virtue Dragon and his sworn brothers.

"We will meet again..." Devil Destroyer remarked calmly, "Farewell!"

Devil Destroyer turned and escaped to the Mighty Tiger Gate as its gate was shut with barricades and logs now. The Coalition Army shouted and cheered wildly as they have won the battle again. Some of them were sighing in relief as they were lucky to escape.

"Phew. That was close..." Fluttershy said in relief.

Rarity sighed, "Indeed. This battle is much more fierce than Yellow Scarf Rebellion."

"Well, we'd better prepare for the next," Twilight Sparkle said calmly, "It could be worse than last time."

Pinkie Pie sighed, "At least, I didn't jinx it."

--------------------------------------------

Cruez and his forces have escaped and returned to Ma Lou Yang. They were now at the private chamber.

"Unacceptable!" Cruez snarled, "Damn it! At this rate, they'll be in here no time."

Devil Destroyer growled, "I could have finish them off if you hadn't sound the gong!"

Tricky hissed, "If I didn't, the enemies would have overwhelm the gate and we all would have been finished. You're lucky that we all have escaped when we have the chance."

"What's next?" Cruez demanded, "I can't let those fools stop me from achieving my dream! I refused!"

Tricky smirked sinisterly, "My lord. I have the plan. It might save our skin and make the enemies go away for good."

Cruez hummed calmly, "I'm listening..."
