Meanwhile with Timber's father and his pack...

Tate was coming back over to the pack.

"Ah, Tate, my dear friend." Timber's father greeted.

"Shall we give the pack the breaking news?" Tate asked.

"Care to do the honors?" Timber's father allowed.

"Very well, Titus." Tate nodded.

Timber's father then let Tate have the floor to alert the pack of what has happened.

'Why do I suddenly have a terrible feeling inside me?' Tate thought to himself.

The other wolves then waited anxiously to hear what Tate had to say.

"Erm... Princess Celestia has captured Timber," Tate reported. "We've got to save him! He'd do the same for any of us."

"Tate is right!" one wolf agreed.

"I've tried to warn you, those ponies cannot be trusted!" Titus told them. "My foolish son tried to befriend them and look what they've done with him! So I propose we go back and rescue our courageous comrade. At daybreak, we attack!"

The wolves jeered to this while Tate looked a little guilty.

"What can you expect from filthy little heathens?~" Titus sang. "This what you get when species are diverse.~"

The wolves narrowed their eyes in determination.

"Their cutesy marks make me only see red, They fill me up with dread, They're vermin as I said and worse~" Titus continued.

"They're savages, savages!" the other wolves chanted.

"Barely even human~" Titus continued.

"Savages! Savages!" the wolves continued.

"Drive them from our shore!~" Titus sang. "They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil, we must sound the drums of war~"

"They're savages, savages~" The other wolves chanted. "Dirty shrieking devils~"

"Now we sound the drums of war~" Titus and the pack sang.

The timberwolves were then on their way into Ponyville and out of the Everfree Forest. While they were making their way out, Princess Celestia and her guards/army were getting ready to battle the Timberwolves.

---

"This is what we feared," Celestia glared sharply. "The wolves are demons, the only thing they feel at all is greed."

"Beneath that woody hide, there's emptiness inside." Flash Sentry said to his fellow guards.

"I wonder if they even bleed!" two guard replied.

"They're savages, savages, barely even human~" the guards chanted. "Savages, savages~"

"Killers at the core." Celestia glared.

"They're different from us, which means they can't be trusted." Flash Sentry said to his fellow guards.

"We must sound the drums of war." Celestia told them as she wore her battle armor.

Timber watched the guards go to attack his kind as he felt he only had himself to blame.

"Let's go kill a few, men!" one wolf proclaimed.

"Now it's up to you, men!" Titus added in.

The wolves and ponies were now ready to attack each other to destroy one's species.

---

Apple Bloom was holed up in her room and looked very miserable as she was with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Granny Smith while Applejack and Big Mac were off to help in the war.

"They're going to kill him at sunrise, Granny." Apple Bloom frowned.

"You have to stop them." Granny Smith replied.

"Ah can't." Apple Bloom shook her head.

"Sugah Cube, remember your dream-" Granny Smith said.

"Ah was wrong, Granny," Apple Bloom pouted. "Ah followed the wrong path, Ah feel so lost."

Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Patch all comforted Apple Bloom the best that they could. Fluttershy's squirrels soon came in, carrying what looked like a wooden compass and where they brought it to Apple Bloom.

Apple Bloom looked to the compass and looked over down to it. "A compass?"

Winona urged for Apple Bloom to look closer.

"The spinning arrow..." Apple Bloom then said.

'It's the arrow from yer dream!" Granny Smith told her granddaughter.

"Ah was right, it was pointing to him." Apple Bloom smiled suddenly the front door opened and where the wind started to blow all around Apple Bloom, causing the arrow in the compass to start spinning and where they saw the sun rising.

Apple Bloom knew exactly what she needed to do.

"You want us to come with you?" Scootaloo asked Apple Bloom.

"Yeah, we can come with you." Sweetie Belle added with a smile.

"It might be wise." Granny Smith agreed.

"Let's go then," Apple Bloom narrowed her eyes in determination and put her hoof in.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo did the same.

"Cutie Mark Crusaders stop a war!" the three fillies cheered before dashing off.

"I'm coming with!" Patch told them as he rushed off to catch up with the girls.

---

"This will be the day," Titus said and looked to his pack. "Let's go, pack!"

The pack then followed him out of the Everfree Forest.

---

"This will be the morning," Princess Celestia said before looking to her guards. "Bring out the prisoner!"

Two of the guards soon brought Timber out to take him to his death.

"We will see them dying in the dust." The guards said.

---

"Ah don't know what we can do, Still Ah know we've got to try~" Apple Bloom sang as she ran with Patch, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.

"Now, we make them pay~" Titus and the pack sang.

"Mother help our feet to fly!" Apple Bloom sang.

"Now without a warning~" Flash Sentry and the other guards sang.

"Father help our hearts be great!" Apple Bloom sang.

"Now we leave them blood and bone and rust." Celestia and her army said.

"Apples in the family before us~..." Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo sang.

"It's them or us!" Titus and his pack growled.

"Please don't let it be too late!" Apple Bloom cried out as she pursued with her friends.

"They're just a bunch of filthy, stinking savages," Celestia and her army glared. "Savages!"

"Demons." The pack said.

"Kill them!" Titus exclaimed before calling. "What are you waiting for?"

"Destroy their evil race until there's not a trace left~" Celestia and Titus sang.

"How loud are the drums of war?~" Apple Bloom sang as she ran with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Patch.

"Now we see what comes of trying to be chums." Celestia, her army, Titus and his pack said.

Timber was being placed in front of Celestia for her to do the finishing blow. Celestia narrowed her eyes as her horn charged up to get rid of Timber once and for all.

"Now we sound the drums of War!" the others sang.

---

"Is this the death of all the love I carried in the drumming of...?" Apple Bloom lunged forward and stood in front of Timber as Celestia's horn was about to waste Timber away. "NO! If you kill him, y'all have to kill me too!"

"Apple Bloom, please stand back." Celestia told the earth pony filly.

"Ah won't!" Apple Bloom replied bravely and firmly. "Ah love him, Princess Celestia!"

"What?" Celestia asked in shock.

This shocked everyone else, as well as Titus's pack.

"Look around you, Princess, this where the path of hatred has brought us!" Apple Bloom told her before hugging Timber. "This is the path that Ah chose, Princess, what will yours be?"

Princess Celestia looked around as everyone looked anxious about Timber's fate, but she then spoke again. "This young filly speaks with wisdom beyond her years," she then said. "We have all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me," she then looked to Flash Sentry as he had restrained the young timberwolf pup. "Release him."

Flash Sentry bowed and let Timber go free. And where Timber and Apple Bloom soon hugged each other happy that he didn't die. The pack seemed to not take this as their advantage unlike their leader.

"Now's our chance!" Titus commanded his pack. "ATTACK!"

"No!" Tate glared at Titus.

"What?" Titus looked back.

"They let him go," Tate defended the ponies. "They don't want to fight."

"It's a trick, don't you see?" Titus glared. "ATTACK!"

His pack didn't seem to follow his orders.

"Oh, fine, I'll do it myself!" Titus glared as he got his magic ready so he could use to blast Celestia and take away her power over the sun.

"NO!" Timber jumped in to take the blast for Princess Celestia, and where he jumped in just in time as the magic blast was fired and where he was hit.

"I never should have kidnapped that pup if he was going to get in the way." Titus glared before covering his mouth.

"What?!" the others asked in shock.

"W-What I mean, is..." Titus said, trying to explain.

The pack started to turn on Titus.

"You're not even my real father?" Timber demanded.

"Nope." Titus shook his head.

Timber glared with tears in his eyes. "You are not my father..."

"No, I am not," Titus said. "But Tate is."

"Uncle Tate?" Timber asked.

"I'm sorry, Timber, but Titus wanted an heir and he took you from me when you were born after you mother died when you were born." Tate explained.

"And besides, he couldn't raise you like I've been trying to and besides that, he's weak." Titus smirked.

Tate glared, feeling angry and hurt from Titus's words.

"Leave him alone!" Timber snarled.

"Just as worthless as your mother!" Titus snarled back.

That was the final straw as Tate wasn't going to let Titus get away with that.

"Perhaps you should join her and rot in Tartarus where you belong!" Titus snarled as he was about to swat Timber with his razor sharp paw.

Tate soon tackled Titus, ready to take him on and where everyone stood back.

"Looks like he's challenging Titus to a Timberwolf battle." One of the Timberwolves said.

Timber took Apple Bloom and went in the back with her, Patch, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo.

"Princess Celestia, what's going on?" Twilight asked.

"These two are going into a Timberwolf Battle; it's how they choose a new leader of their pack." Princess Celesatia told her prized student.

"Should we do something?" Spike asked.

"It's best to not get involved." Princess Celestia replied.

"You really want to do this, Brother?" Titus asked before grunting as he tried to get free.

"I've gotten stronger over the years." Tate told him.

"It was nice knowing you..." Titus sneered.

Titus and Tate continued to fight this fight seemed like when Simba fought Scar. Timber and Apple Bloom held each other in worry.
