Arena War

Chapter 6: Arena War

30 minutes earlier

Guys were coming at Star Rush from the left and right. He was now getting annoyed at how many there were. He saw Wolf and Firefly fly towards him.

"Wolf what are you doing here?" Asked Rush

"I came to help." Said Wolf

"You should be protecting your father." Said Rush

"I left him in the hands of Sev and Litestar." Said Wolf

"And what about the others?" Asked Rush as he knocked out an enemy

Firefly spoke this time "They are fine they left with Celestia and Zeus."

Rainbow showed up "Hey are my friends ok?"

"Yes they are fine but we need to focus here." Said Wolf

"Well it looks like some of the crowd joined in the fight but we need to protect the ones that can't fight." Said Rainbow

"I agree with you Dash, our main priority is protecting the people." Said Rush

"Alright than so we have to get them out then." Said Wolf

"Yes but we are going to need the control room for that just in case they locked the gate." Said Firefly

"So than lets do that." Said Azrael has he flew in shooting an enemy with his crossbow.

"They probably have mean there now I can't take them all on my own." Said Firefly

"Wait if they have the controls Zeus can be in trouble." Said Azrael

"I'll go check on them and get them to the control room for safety." Said Firefly

"Alright Dash you help Azrael get the citizens to a safe place, Wolf you help me defeat them and where the hell is Speedy." Said Rush.

As Rush finish Speedy popped up with an enemy being thrown into a wall.

"Found her and she's pissed so I would just let her do her thing." Said Wolf

"Alright so we all know what we are doing, good now get to it." Said Rush

Present time

"All the control room should be around the corner here." Said Firefly

"Alright hold on for second let me check it out." Said Litestar

"No wait I'll look I can't let you put yourself in danger." Said Firefly

As he looked at over the corner he could see about five enemies and a creature he hasn't seen before. He looked back at Celestia and Litestar.

"There are five enemies and a creature I've never seen before." Said Firefly

Litestar looked around the corner and was shocked to see the creature. She was wondering why that creature was here and then notice a tattoo on its arm of a skull on top of money.

"That's a puma but don't worry it's a mercenary." Said Litestar

"Ok well lets do this Firefly and I will take out the enemies and you deal with the mercenary." Said Celestia

Litestar thought about she was the only one who was truly combat experience and also the only one who has face a puma before.

"Alright but wait for my signal." Litestar said as she casted a spell.

A second later Litestar was invisible and stalking towards the puma. Celestia and Firefly were waiting around the corner for the signal.

The puma sniffed the air and looked at the direction that Litestar was coming from but before he could but his scent on her she jumped at him turning visible and yelling "Now!"

When Celestia heard this she turned the corner firing her solar magic at three guards in the back. While Firefly flew past her and knocked out the two guards with his bare hoof.

Litestar took the puma down pretty fast having the element of surprise on him. She looked at Celestia and Firefly and called back all clear. Celestia walked in first ready to guard the door and then Firefly struggle his way to the door.

Litestar saw Firefly holding a hoof under his stomach. She quickly ran towards him and had him lay against the wall. When she moved his hoof she saw that he was stabbed.

"We have to close that wound up now." Said Litestar

"No we must get the gates open first than you could worried about me." Said Firefly

"No I need to treat you now or else you will die, I know this for fact." Said Litestar

"How do you know?" Asked Celestia

"Since I'm the squad medic and it's my favorite move to kill an enemy is this one." Said Litestar as she started to charge her magic

"So how many others in your squad killed?" Asked Firefly fear of his son taking a life away rising.

"All of us have taken more lives than we can count now." Said Litestar with a sad tone as she finished closing the wound with dark magic.

"I can tell you regret taking away those lives." Said Celestia while putting a reassuring hoof on Litestar's back.

"You think we would but the sad part is that we don't feel any regret for lives we took." Said Litestar with a cold tone as she got back up "We should get these gates open for the guards when they get here."

"Agreed let me get to the controls but the moment they are open they will come here so you two guard the door." Said Firefly as he got up

Meanwhile back with Zeus and Sev

Enemies were charging after them one after another.

"Damn are they ever going to stop coming." Said Sev as he hit another guy

"I didn't take you to complain Sev." Said Zeus

"I'm not complaining sir I'm trust saying that they don't stop coming." Said Sev

"Sounds like complaining to me and with your rap sheet I didn't expect that." Said Zeus

"Well that's why we like you sir cause you treat us like normal ponies, griffins, and wolves." Said Sev

"Haha and that's why I trust you kids." Said Zeus as he used his magic to take a group of enemies out

Meanwhile with Applejack and Twilight

They were running down the halls towards the owner box with Pinkie's party cannon.

"We're almost there Twilight just a couple more feet." Said Applejack

"I know but I'm just worried about Wolf and everybody else." Said Twilight

"Why did you mention Wolf separate Twi?" Asked Applejack

"Just because I got to know him last night on our walk to the castle." Said Twilight with a blush on her face

"No Twi, Ah wreckon you're lying to me." Said Applejack

"I'm not lying to you Applejack. I would never lie to you." Said Twilight knowing she didn't lie to her but just didn't tell her the full truth.

"I feel like your not telling me every...." Before she could finish they saw enemies in front the box.

"Great now what?" Asked Twilight

"You have a horn and I have my legs so what do you think?" Said Applejack

"Don't forget we have the party cannon also." Said Twilight

With that said the two mares fired the party cannon at the group of enemies and notice it shot out bowling balls instead of party stuff. The enemy that got hit was now out cold while the other 6 charged after them.

Twilight used her magic to take out three enemies, while Applejack bucked the other three.

"Well lets get set up and you have to tell me everything Twi." Said Applejack

Twilight knew Applejack was on to her but she didn't know how to tell her friend. She knew that she couldn't tell Applejack about what she did with Wolf last night.

In the Arena

Rush just slammed a griffin head into a wall. "I'm getting tired how many guys there are here at the moment." Said Rush

"Tell me about it, I feel like this is worse than that time we had to rescue Litestar from Krieg." Said Wolf as he stab an enemy with his claws.

They saw Rainbow Dash come towards them with some citizens behind her and Azrael covering their rear.

"Hey guys we need help to get these ponies to the owner box." Said Rainbow

"Wait why to the owner box?" Asked Wolf

Rainbow just pointed up at the box and as Rush and Wolf eyes landed on the box, they saw a cannon shooting bowling balls at the enemies.

"Since they can be covered by that cannon." Said Rainbow

"Alright we'll help you." Said Rush

They all flew towards the box but a group of enemies were in the way. Wolf didn't care he decided he would use his magic and shocked them out of the sky.

Meanwhile somewhere

"Oh I hope everyone is fine." Said Fluttershy

"Don't worry they have my cannon Fluttershy." Said Pinkie

"Yeah but I'm worried to darling but that's why we need you to fly faster so we can help them." Said Rarity

"Alright I'll try too get us in Canterlot in a couple minutes." Said Fluttershy as she flapped her wings harder to fly faster.

After 10 minutes they made it to Canterlot and went straight to the royal guard HQ. As they pulled up a princess Luna was coming out of the building. Luna saw the balloon land in front and decided to greet her friends.

"Hello Rarity, Flutt..." But before she could finish Pinkie interrupted "Quick send guards to Cloudsdale the Arena is under attack!" Shouted Pinkie

"That impossible if it was under attack we would have heard from Celestia." Said Luna.

As Luna said this guards heard Pinkie and came over to hear about it. Then the USN men also showed up knowing their leader was there right now.

"Fine if you don't believe us than Delta Foxtrot Bravo." Said Rarity

The USN men knew exactly what it meant and one of them came right in front of the girls.

"Where is this fight right now?" Asked the guard

"At the Arena in Cloudsdale." Said Pinkie

The guard looked at them and then turned around and shouted "All griffins and Pegasi go to Cloudsdale now the prime president in trouble."

The girls sighed in relief as they heard the orders for men to do there. Then they realized how do they know where Cloudsdale is if they never been here.

"You guys are going to need us to show you where to go." Said Rarity

"No they won't just head back to Ponyville I'll take it from here." Said a Celestia guard

"Cloudhunter you believe that there is a danger?" Asked Luna

"Yes I do why else would they come here." Said Cloudhunter

"Alright then take 15 of your best men and I'll take 15 of my with me." Said Luna

"Yes ma'am." Said Cloudhunter

Back at the Arena

Wolf and the group just made it to the owner box and saw Applejack and Twilight using the cannon.

"Didn't I order you guys to get help." Said Wolf

"You did but the gates closed on us but Rarity, Pinkie, and Fluttershy are getting help." Said Applejack as she aimed the cannon

"Well that's good but we need you guys to protect these ponies while your hold out here." Said Star Rush

"We can do that but I think we're going to need back up." Said Twilight

"So Rainbow and Azrael will cover your rear." Said Wolf

With that said the group of ponies that couldn't fight flew into the box while Rainbow and Azrael guard the door.

"Alright now that every..." Wolf was hit into the box and hit the bar table that shatter to pieces.

Wolf was now tangled in fight with a Pegasus that had bat wings and fangs trying to bite him.

"Wolf stop screwing around and finish him already." Said Rush

Wolf used his fire breath to burn the pony to ashes which everyone in the box was shocked to see.

Twilight couldn't believe that Wolf just shot fire out of his mouth and also killed a pony. She was so shocked to see this side of him one that can kill without a second thought.

Applejack knew Wolf was a monster but never did she expect him to kill another pony and right in front of her. Her trust for him completely faded at that moment for her.

Rainbow just looked at the pile of ash that was now in the box still smoking. She couldn't believe that the one she has a crush on just killed a pony.

"Good job dude now come lets go we got more to kill." Said Rush which scared the three just wondering who there new friends were.

"Azrael protect everyone." Said Wolf as he left

The two flew into the middle of the battle with full attention. While the rest were left behind at the box.

"Are we sure we can handle all these guys?" Asked Wolf

"Hell no but we'll at least die trying to beat them all." Said Rush

They came on a group of enemies where they used hoof to hoof combat on them. Wolf spun and kicked one in the head then grabbed him and snap his neck. Rush came a lightning speed to hit most of them but one of them he broke his wings then broke his back so the enemy could just fall to earth.

"We got alot of enemies we need to do something about this and quick." Said Wolf

Rush looked at the roof that was closed and said "Get everyone out of the way I got an idea."

"Are you doing what I think your doing?" Asked Wolf

"Yep and who ever isn't down they will be knock out." Said Rush as he flew up to the roof.

As Rush flew to the roof it open up for him and he knew that his father had control on the stadium.

Rainbow saw the roof open and Rush fly high in the sky. She thought about using a sonic rainboom in till Azrael put a claw on her shoulder.

"I wouldn't fly if I were you." Azrael said

"Why is that Azrael?" Asked Rainbow

"Since your going to see why he was the captain of your wonderbolts Jr squad." Said Azrael

Litestar and Celestia were holding off enemies in front of the control room. Firefly was staring at the screen knowing what his son was doing.

Sev and Zeus were learning against a wall after there fight they were pretty tired but they heard a noise knowing that it was the commander.

Twilight and Applejack looked up to see Star Rush leaving the stadium by the roof but for sure reason they felt like he was coming right back.

Finally Speedy looked up after she just shot an enemy to save Spitfire. She then heard a voice she recognized and look at the direction it came from and saw Wolf coming towards her.

"Get to the floor he's preforming it to knock them out." Said Wolf

Right when he said that Speedy flew to the bleachers and took cover while Spitfire took cover behind the stands. Wolf decided he would go back to the box to tell them to take cover then take cover himself.

Rush finally stop and looked around him he could see all of Cloudsdale and some of it surrounding lands. He then saw a big group of ponies and USN troops flying towards Cloudsdale and knew that back up was on the way. Rush decided to tuck his wings in and free fall towards the stadium.

Wolf just made it to the box when he saw Rush falling and knew he had min and half before it happened.

"Everyone get down on the ground!" Said Wolf

Wolf notice everyone did this expect for Rainbow who he tackled to the ground and laid on top of her.

Rush decided that he was half way now and opened his wings. He started to build up more speed has he flapped his wings. He was now close to the stadium and had his eyes on his target.

His target was a griffin that looked like he was giving orders to the troops. Rush knew he only had one shot at it and he was going to take it.

As flew fast he started to get wind resistant and a barrier started to form around him. He knew that he was close to mark 3 and had to keep the place in till he was right on top of the griffin.

The griffin looked up to see a pony nose diving right to him. Rush knew the griffin made him but it was too late and Rush stuck out a hoof and hit mark 3 and boom. As he stuck the griffin he broke the sound barrier and created a thing of stars that flew away from him.

Rush bought the griffin to the ground and crack his neck when he hit the ground. Rush looked up to see all the enemies in the arena be knock back by his sonic starboom.

Rainbow Dash was shocked to see a sonic boom while she laid on the ground but she was just shocked by that. She had a handsome wolf on top of her now and all she could think about was pressing her lips against his.

"Hey you ok Dash?" Asked Wolf with a confused look

"Yeah I'm fine can you get off of me?" Asked Rainbow with a blush on her face

"Oh sorry about that." Said Wolf as he got up

"Hey no problem I was just wondering what was that." Said Rainbow as she got up herself

"Yeah what was that Wolf?" Asked Twilight

"I reckon you tell us everything Wolf or else." Said Applejack with a cold tone

Wolf didn't like how Applejack was treating him but knew he had no right to tell her different.

"It's Star Rush." Said Wolf

"Now your just lying I saw Rush fly he's not that good." Said Rainbow

This time a voice behind them spoke "That was the commander and our flight here was a just a Sunday fly for him." Said Azrael has he came up

"What do you mean?" Asked Applejack

"He means that Rush is the fastest Pegasus in Equestria." Said Wolf

"What that's not true I am the fastest I'm the one who first performed a sonic rainboom." Said Rainbow

"Actually you performed it second." Said Rush as he came up.

"What do you mean?" Asked Twilight

"Dash preformed it after me. To be exact a year after me but when I did it, I was running away from the royal guards." Said Rush

As Rush said that royal guards and UNS came in the arena arresting the enemies that couldn't escape. As the guards came in Celestia, Firefly, and Litestar were behind them with Princess Luna.

Sev and Zeus both enter the owner box just as Speedy flew inside knowing that the other three will be coming soon.

Litestar flew towards the owner box seeing her teammates there. As she arrived she saw Speedy bleeding from her foreleg.

"Here Speedy let me treat you." Said Litestar

Speedy just nodded and let the medic use dark magic to heal her to better conditions. As Litestar finish healing Speedy, Celestia, Luna, and Firefly flew towards them with a couple of guards with them.

"I see you are all ok and we made it just in time." Said Luna

"Yeah you did I don't know how long we would have last if you guys didn't show when you did." Said Wolf

The two Celestia guards that were by Celestia's side saw something that they didn't to expect to see ever again.

"Fireblaze protect the Princesses." Said one of the guards

"Yes Sir!" Said the Fireblaze

"Wait Cloudhunter stop he's on our side!" Shouted Celestia but she was to late. Cloudhunter had Wolf pinned against the wall.

"What are you doing here, you monster!" Shouted Cloudhunter

"Is that all you have to say uncle." Said Wolf with an evil grin

"I should just kill you here and now." Said Cloudhunter

Rush notice that something was off with Wolf so he decided to step in.

"Cloud put him down. We are not here to cause any harm just to help." Said Rush with a calm tone

"No he took her away from me!" Said Cloudhunter

Wolf eyes widen as he remember killing Shine Flower and then having Cloudhunter find him eating the her corpse.

"Put him down captain that an order now!" Shouted Celestia

Cloudhunter looked at Celestia than back at Wolf than said "Your lucky Celestia here to protect you."

"No your lucky Rush here talk before I killed you." Said Wolf as he looked at his paw which was place under Cloud's belly ready to rip it open.

"Once a monster always a monster." Cloud said as he saw what Wolf was looking at.

Cloud let go of Wolf and started to walk away from him.

"Why didn't you kill him." Asked Fireblaze

"Cause I want him to feel what it feels to lose something dear to him before he dies." Said Cloudhunter

"Well then kill me now because you are the only one that should be allowed to kill me for what I've done." Said Wolf

Everyone was in shocked to hear that Wolf was willing to lower his life away so easily.

"I've already lost everything." Said Wolf

"You lost nothing." Said Cloudhunter

"That day you didn't just lose Shine, I did too but I also lost my friends, my family, and my home. So yes I already lost everything but now I'm back to help so you don't lose everything." Said Wolf with a sad tone.

"What do you mean?" Asked Fireblaze

"You'll never understand." Said Wolf has he left with Rush

After Wolf and Rush left the room the 9 were order to head back to Ponyville for the rest of the day to rest. On the flight towards Ponyville

"Well that was a nice day." Said Azrael with sarcasm in his tone

"When before Luna showed up or after." Said Wolf

"Well for you I'm guessing neither. After seeing Cloudhunter you must be upset." Said Rush

"Yeah upset he didn't kill me." Said Wolf

"HEY DON'T SAY THAT!" Shouted a voice

They looked back to see Applejack being held by Rainbow yelling at Wolf.

"What do you mean? You saw what he called me. He called me the same thing you called me, a monster." Said Wolf

Everyone gasps with shock that Applejack called Wolf that all expect for Rush who already knew why some how.

"Yes I did but that was before I saw your pain." Said Applejack

Wolf looked at her in shock and new hope rising in him that Applejack and him can be friends again.

"But I must ask you one question why did you kill that bat pony?" Asked Applejack

"To protect you guys since it's kill or be kill with these guys." Said Wolf

"Did you even think about knocking him out?" Asked Rainbow

"No all that was on my mind then was I had to kill him or else he would have killed you guys." Said Wolf

The girls were shocked to hear that he just thought about killing the poor pony.

"Have you all killed before?" Asked Twilight

The elite 6 responded in unison "Yes". The girls couldn't believe that their new friends were killers.

"How could you all have done that?" Asked Twilight

"Simple, we've seen war and all you guys had was peace but now war is coming and ponies will die." Said Sev who was being cared by Azrael

With that said there flight to Ponyville was silent the rest of the way. They arrived at Ponyville and the moon was up now.

"So is everypony staying at the same place as last night?" Asked Applejack

Litestar, Sev, and Rush nodded yes.

"No I'm staying in the inn tonight." Said Azrael. Everyone looked at him in confusion. "I don't want to wake up Fluttershy."

"I'm staying at pinkies again since last night was so much fun." Said Speedy

"Well Wolf isn't staying at my place tonight. I have to do alot of research." Said Twilight with pain since she wasn't sure if she could look at Wolf the same way after seeing him take a life.

"Well you could stay with me tonight."

Everyone looked at the pony that said that and saw it was Rainbow Dash. Rainbow was looking at the ground trying to hide a blush.

"Okay I'll stay with you tonight if your offering." Said Wolf

Rainbow looked up at the Wolf with a smile that formed at her face. She was so happy that the wolf was spending the night at her place. They all said goodnight to each with Twilight and Wolf staring at each a little more than the others.

Rainbow and Wolf flew to the sky to head to Rainbow's house. As they came up to the home Wolf notice it was made out of clouds and had rainbow waterfalls. Rainbow and Wolf landed in front of the door and Rainbow opened it with her key.

They went inside and Wolf took in the house noticing that when you first walk in was the living room, behind it was the kitchen, and he was guessing upstairs was where the bedrooms were.

"Your going to have to sleep on the couch tonight since I don't have spare bedroom." Said Rainbow

"Wait what? I thought this house would have two bedrooms at least." Said Wolf

"It does just the spare is being used by a filly right now that looks up to me." Said Rainbow

"Why isn't she staying at her parents house?" Asked Wolf

"Since her parents are currently out of town and they asked if I could watch her because I've been trying to teach her how to fly." Said Rainbow

"I see so you took her in for the time being. So when are the parents coming back?" Asked Wolf

"Lucky tomorrow so now that leaves me with one last thing." Rainbow said as she made her way to the couch

"Well what's that last thing?" Asked Wolf as he joined Rainbow

"You guys said that there will be a war so I was wondering if you could teach me how to fight like you guys." Said Rainbow

"Why do you want to learn how to fight like us?" Asked Wolf

"Because I want to protect the ponies I care about." Said Rainbow

Wolf laid down in the couch and said "Well it looked like you were handling yourself pretty good today." Said Wolf

"Well yeah but that's because I used my speed but I want to be stronger since I couldn't even completely knock one out with out the Wonderbolts help." Said Rainbow with tears down her face

"Hey why are crying?" Asked Wolf

"Because I'm weak and need to be stronger to protect my friends." Said Rainbow now breaking down in tears

"Well I guess we could teach you." Said Wolf while rubbing the back of his neck.

Rainbow face lighten up at that sentence and asked "Really you guys can do that for me?"

"Well it wouldn't be a bad idea to teach all of you how to defend yourself if a war is coming." Said Wolf

"Yeah talking about war. What is it like taking a life and fighting in a war?" Asked Rainbow

"To be honest I don't know how to explain both of those things. For us we just kinda ignore are feelings." Said Wolf

"So how do you kill without feelings anything can you teach me that also?" Asked Rainbow

"You can't be taught how to kill without feelings since you will always feel it." Said Wolf

Rainbow didn't understand what he was talking about since to her it looked like they were killing without any feelings.

"So does that mean you won't teach me how to fly then?" Asked Rainbow

"No it means that you can't kill without feelings because you always feel something when you kill somepony." Said Wolf

Rainbow decided to get off the couch now she had that talk with Wolf but before she left him she asked "How do you sleep at night knowing you killed somepony?"

"You just have to force yourself to sleep or you don't sleep." Said Wolf

Rainbow felt bad for the wolf and his friends. "Well goodnight." Said Dash but she didn't realized that she kissed Wolf when she said that. Rainbow finally realized she was kissing Wolf when she tried to put her tongue in his mouth.

Rainbow packed away from Wolf realizing that she just made a mistake.

"I'm so sorry Lightning I didn't mean to kiss you." Said Rainbow

"Nah its ok Dash not the first time that I've been kissed by a mare that lived here in Ponyville." Said Wolf

"Oh ok good." Said Dash as she realized what he said. "What do you mean not the first time?"

Now it was Wolf turn to be scared cause he let his tongue slip. "I don't know what your talking about." Said Wolf

"Yes you do. Now tell me what happen between you and Twi." Dash said like it was an order

"Wait how did you know it was Twilight?" Asked Wolf

"I didn't you just told me." Said Dash

"Great now I'm going to be in trouble with her." Said Wolf

"If you tell me I promise I won't tell her." Said Rainbow

"Well we kissed and slept together but decided that it was a night thing so we wouldn't get in trouble." Said Wolf

Rainbow smiled at the fact that the wolf wasn't in a relationship with one of her friends. She decided that Twi can do what she did that she can do it too.

"So you slept with one of my friends." Said dash with a grin

"Yeah but where are you going with this?" Asked Wolf

He got his answer but not the way he was expecting. Dash was now kissing him again. She parted her lips from his after a few minutes.

"Well now do you see where I'm...." Dash couldn't finish cause Wolf put his lips against hers. Dash was in heaven as the wolf continue to kiss her passionately. They finally parted lips and Dash decided to head upstairs now but she stop at the stairs.

"Well that brighten my day." Said Wolf as he looked at the gorgeous cyan mare with a rainbow mane and tail.

"Well who said it had to end." Said Rainbow with grin "Let me show you how a true mare can treat you in bed."

Right when she said that Wolf got off the couch and headed to Rainbow's bed with her.
