Snowball was training himself with a practice dummy outside of town. He was getting ready for his what may be his "Final Showdown" with Napoleon, his arch rival. He trained for nearly an hour and always drank some water to recharge himself with energy. Meanwhile, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and the others watched him with concern, as with his fellow animal comrades. So far, Snowball was doing quite well I hi little training and remembered the boom of Julius Caesar's techniques during the battle of the Cowshed. When he kept biting and charging many times at a stuffed Napoleon dummy, he stopped and took a breath.
"I think I am ready." He said. He walked over back to town, and waited for Napoleon and Squealer to show their evil hides again
The others walked up to him, and Fluttershy said "Snowball wait, you don't have to do this. We will make sure he doesn't come back. We don't want you to be executed by Napoleon, please."
Snowball sighed and said "look, Fluttershy. I appreciate your concern, but I have to do this.Napoleon is a mass murderer, and he had his dogs execute many animals by his order."
"I know. We want him dead as much as we do, but come on, we don't want to lose you?" Rainbow asked, really worried
"Do not worry, Rainbow." Said Snowball. "I will be just fine. I am a better fighter after all."
"Ah suppose that's true." Said Big Mac.
"But, are you sure there is not way to convince you?" Asked Rarity.
"I'm afraid not."
"Very well." Said Fluttershy, reluctant about this.
"So, where are you two going to fight again?" Spike asked
"I'm the park, near the center of it. That's when i wipl meet him, and hopefully, that traitor will show up to challenge me." Then he turned to Applejack. "Listen, A0plejack. I am so sorry about your farm."
"It wasn't your fault." Applejack replied. "It was those to porkchops' fault." She really wants to do something g evil and kill those two boars for the destruction at her home, but she caught herself being irrational again
"I will give him his proper retribution for it. I promise."
"I know. I know you will."
Then Snowball continued waiting for his nemesis to show up for the death match. When the time was right, Napoleon and Squealer showed up with their dog guards with them. Howeve4, the others were quite surprised to see the three leaders of the Diamond Dogs with them too.
"You?! What are you barbaric ruffians doing here?" Said Rarity, recognizing them in an instant.
"Hello Rarity." Said Rover in a vengeful voice.
"Napoleon here gave us quite amount of gems to help you." Fido answered her question.
"Yes, he pays good deals of gems." Said Rover with a chuckle.
"So we work for him now." Spot said
"Mercenary work huh?" Said Applejack unamused.
"What a pleasant surprise." Said Spike sarcastically.
"No matter, Napoleon. It's time to end this. Either one of us will be victor." Said Snowball.
"Of course" said Napoleon with a sneer
"And no weapons or any help from your personal henchman either." Snowball added.
"We hear you loud and clear." Said Squealer.
"Very well, follow us." The two boars and dogs followed Snowball, the animals, the ponies and Spike to the park in the open field. They all watched from a safe view so they wouldn't interfere, like an audience. Both sides of Snowball and Napoleon watched and waited for something to happen.
The two boars just glared at eachother with hate and complete dislike. "It's never too late to surrender, Snowball." Napoleon said
"Then feel free." said Snowball
"Tell me, my old comrade: how many of you must die trying to stop me, and dethrone me as leader of the animals?"
"Just one."

Then, they clashed at eachother. Snowball latched onto a piece of Napoleon's skin with his teeth. Napoleon screamed in agony, but he shook Snowball off, trowing him to the ground. Snowball got off the snowy ground in an instant, then Napoleon charged at him. Snowball however, was more clever than Napoleon of course. He sidestepped and knocked down a charging Napoleon to the ground on his side.
"We would have made great co-leaders Snowball if you would just listen to me, and I thought you could think for yourself on how thinks could go for the best of Animal Farm!"
"I can Napoleon, I just don't think like you!" Snowball said. Napoleon growled and they both clashed their bodies against one another again. Napoleon latched his teeth on Snowball's leg, making him exclaim in agony. His teeth were sharper, but Snowball didn't stop there. He latched his teeth on Napoleon's ear. The pain was too much to bear for Napoleon, and pigs ears are one of the most sensitive parts of their bodies. Because of that, he let go of Snowball's leg, preventing any blood from dripping out of his ear.
Snowball also tended to the wound on his leg from Napoleon's bite. As a chance to take his rival down, Snowball charge at him. He punched him in the face four times, then he gave him a powerful kick to his face.
Everyone of Snowball's allies cheered him on. "Goooo Snowball!" said the crusaders
"Give him a taste of his own bacon!" Applejack said.
"Show that monster what you're made of!" Fluttershy added
"Ah! Damn runt! Now you really made me angry!" Napoleon exclaimed.
"Oy, Napoleon, catch!" Pincher exclaimed. He threw a saber at Napoleon's direction, and the berkshire grabbed it in his trotter. he aimed his sword at Snowball's direction
Snowball realized that Napoleon is trying to cheat, so he looked at the group behind him and said "Twilight, I need a sword!"
"Right." said twilight. She conjured a sword with her magic, and threw it to Snowball, also grabbing the holster by his trotter. The swords were some type of weapons made for pigs.
Nevertheless, Snowball and Napoleon clashed their blades, metal clanging to their own, and the fight turned a bit more serious now. they kept striking and striking eachother's swords and they stopped at one point, growling at eachother as they were pressing eachother with their blades.
"You really should have accepted my ideas, Snowball." Napoleon sneered. "things would have been so much simpler if you would just listen."
"And become a tyrant such as yourself, and taking away every animal's rights while you go against Old Major's rules and executing many that defy you? Never! You are a bloody traitor to all of us!" without warning, Napoleon gave Snowball a few punches with one of his front trotters, but Snowball retaliated, and sliced Napoleon's back with his sword, making him yell in agony even louder. Napoleon, ignored the pain and focused on killing Snowball more than he wound. "Bah, forget swords!" he exclaimed. We continue doing this the old fashion way!" he threw his weapon to the ground and charged at Snowball once more.
Napoleon pounced on Snowball, and lashed his teeth on his face, but kept missing as Snowball kept dodged his lunges. Finally, Snowball kicked him off of his body and threw his sword on the ground too. He charged at him, and kept punching and kicking his face till his tusks fallen out from the impact. The final blow Snowball did, caused Napoleon to fall to the ground, adn grunted in pain. He tried his best to get up, but he staggered and fell on the floor, unable to fight anymore. He panted heavilly, as did Snowball.
Twilight, her friends, Discord, Big Mac, the Crusaders, Pip, Spike, and the animals cheered at Snowball's victory.
"Way to go Snowball!" said Twilight.
"You did it!" Spike added. They all crowded around, congratulating him on his victory.
"Thank you all." Snowball said. Then he grunted in pain from Napoleon's bite marks.
"Oh my, you're injured." said Fluttershy.
"No no, i'm alright. you can patch me up later. Besides." He got up and walked over to his sword. "It's not over yet." He walked over to his nemesis and angrily looked at him as he prepared to execute him.
"You know, Snowball." said Napoleon, who was looking at him. "Maybe I was wrong about you." Snowball raised his eyesbrows, listening to what his defeated opponent had to say. "Maybe..... maybe you do.... have the makings of being.... a perfect replacement for Old Major, and.... being a good leader to the animals.... after all."
Snowball then made a yell and there was a "Shing!" sound. However, much to Napoleon's surprise. Snowball aimed at the snowy ground instead.
"Not a leader like you." Snowball said.
"You're.... letting me live?" Napoleon asked in surprise
"Well, I realize that if I kill you, I will stoop to your level. So, keep your life, my fallen comrade." Snowball. "But the next time you ever do evil things to animals or ponies ever again, you will suffer." Then he turned to his friends. "Victory is ours!"
Everyone cheered for his victory, except for the ones on Napoleon's side, matter of fact they all rushed to him, and tended to his wounds.
Then, after Snowball and his allies stopped cheering , they all heard Napoleon chuckling coldly.
"He is chuckling?" Said Rarity, very confused
"I see him chuckling. Why are you chuckling?" Said Pinkie
"You think it's over?" Said Napoleon in a sneaky voice. "I already planned an invasion of your little town, equines."
"What?" They all exclaimed
"That's right. Soon all of Equestria will be ours." Squealer answered.
"Oh you horrible demons!" Said Rainbow Dash, ready to try to kill them again. Of course, like before, she was restrained by her friends.
"I'll be back." Said Napoleon. The diamond dogs, Animal Guard, and the two evil boars retreated back to the Diamond Dog homelands in the caves,
"We'll deal with them later." Snowball instructed. "For now, we got a city to defend from evil."
"Right." All his old and new friends exclaimed. They all went back to Ponyville to warm all the citizens about the invasion.
Back in the town, everypony was already informed about what was about to happen. They all prepared themselves for battle, and got many children to safety in many certain buildings. Then they tried to prepare themselves to fight. And indeed, Snowball, was in charge of the defensive operations, once again. He remembered the book of Julius Caesar's campaigns during the Roman Empire, and created many plans quickly.
Meanwhile, Snowball was looking through a telescope and saw a small army of Diamond Dogs approaching from across the hills. They were all carrying spears, except for the leafy, who was leading with a gun in his paws. It was the same gun that Jones had in the Battle of the Cowshed. Then, there was the animal guard, Napoleon, with his wounds bandaged, and Squealer right beside him.
"Hopefully this should work." Snowball said to himself. "Everyone is in position, and are all ready for the worst." He continued looking and Spike came back in a rush. "Ah, Spike. Are all the animals and ponies in place?"
"Yep, we're all set." Said Spike. "I hope this works."
"I hope so too. It's me and my friends did at th battle of the Cowshed. Remember when I told you that?"
"Yeah I do."
"Good. Now get in position, Spike. Hurry!" The army minus Napoleon and Squealer, who decided to stay on the knoll like cowards then ran down the field, ready to ransack the whole town into shreds.
Snowball, launched his first plan of attack. Like the battle of the Cowshed, many birds, such as ducks, geese, and finches, all flew towards the enemies direction. However, unlike the Cowshed battle, there was a large number of Pegasi flying with the, too. They were all carrying rocks. When they hovered all the mindless brutes, they dropped the rocks on their heads, turning a few them unconscious, and three dropped dead from the impact of the large rocks. Then, the birds dropped their feces on all of them, and swooped down, pecking at them, but it was only a temporary setback. One duck was killed when a diamond dog snapped a ducks neck, killing it instantly, a goose had his throat torn out by pincher then ,auld by the puppies, and another got impaled by a spear.
The Pegasi and birds retreated, then the diamond dogs continued running to the town. However, when they arrived, they noticed the town looked completely empty. They were all quiet and slowly looked around for any targets.
Then, when were in the far side of the town, Snowball then gave a signal to charge, and all the ponies, animals. And other creatures on the animals side, came out and attacked all the Diamond Dogs, and Napoleon's bodyguards as a sneak attack.
During the process, Snowball dashed himself at the leader, and then the diamond dog fired his gun at him. Like the battle back home, he had bloody streaks on his back, but kept on going. He charged himself again, and knocked the leader down, making his gun fly out of his paws.
Rainbow was kicking so e real Diamond Dog ass, and was punching every one of e, that came at her way.
Pinkie Pie was using Twilight's horn as a machine gun against her enemies.
Spook gored many of them in their stomachs, killing them instantly, or most of them are just injured.
Fluttershy, when she noticed Snowball getting shot, she rushed in and punched the Diamond dog leader, then kicked another Diamond Dog so hard, he flew up in the air into the forest on the other side of town. Big Mac and Boxer however, where the most terrifying enemies e diamond dogs had to face and take down. The two stallions didn't even pull up a fight. They kept lashing their mighty hooves at their opponents, as did Benjamin, Milly, and Clover.
Jessie confronted her puppies and looked really furious at them. "Puppies, how could you do this to us!?" Jessie snapped. "Following a dictator as your purpose? I am truly disappointed in you!"
The puppies then snarled at their mother, then realized the look on her face. "M... Mummy?" Said one of them.
"Is that you?" Said another, feeling a little guilt-stricken
"Come on you worthless children, fight!" Pincher snapped at them
"But, she's.... Our mother." Said another puppy
"Shut up! Do as you're told or face the wrath of your glorious leader!" Said Pincher. "Maybe you can feed your enemies with your hides!"
Jessie, unable to hold her anger towards one of her former friends, lashed out and was in a real slugfest with Pincher. "No one talks to my babies like that." Jessie said before he slammed Pincher silly against a wall. Then she turned back to her children. "Are you all alright?"
"Yes." The puppies all replied to her.
"Good, now let's get you out of here."
Meanwhile, Boxer and Big Mac continued lashing, and couldn't keep it up. The diamond dogs cornered them until, they heard a wolf howling on the distance. They looked and saw Fang, the coyote that Jessie and her friends helped, and this time, he brought the whole pack with him to come to Snowball's aid.
"Fang?" Benjamin said. "what are you doing here?"
"Helping you and your friends of course. We heard what was going on, and we owe you all something in return for helping me."
The two horses and donkey smiled. "Good, thank you." Said Big Mac
Then Fang focused on Pincher, they had a long intriguing fight. During a few more minutes in the battle, till the Diamond dogs realized that they could not win, they all retreated because they knew they were outnumbered. When they all noticed Fluttershy being ruthless on her enemies, panic overtook them all.
"Fall Back!" Said the leader.
"We need to retreat, now!" Pincher added. Then he realized the puppies not leaving with him "what are you all doing?"
"We want nothing to do with Napoleon and Squealer, or you, you mean dog!" Said a puppy
Pincher growled in frustration. "Fine, be that way, Napoleon does not need you." Then he ran all the way back to the knoll with his allies. When they all retreated, the three diamond dog leaders were also panicking and Rover said "sorry, Napoleon, but we are more of miners than fighters." Then the threes ran off to their homes, yelping with fear.
"Victory is ooooouuuuuurrrsss!!!!" Snowball exclaimed triumphantly. Everyone in town cheered at their victory. They all congragulated one another on how well they fought, but grieved for the lose of their dead comrades. Then they all looked at Napoleon and Squealer, ready to end with this madness.
Before Napoleon and Squealer could escape, Celestia and Luna appeared behind em, giving them a mean look of dislike, then the two gulped with fear, too scared to find out what will happen to them
