Prophecy
Chi POV

"Hello, Chi."

I growled as I looked at him. The man who turned my life into a hell was standing in front me. I had to control myself from not just rushing him as I didn't want to rush recklessly into a fight with my father. He had more techniques and fighting styles than I did. I had to be right on my toes if I even wanted to stand a chance against him.

"Hello father, long time no see. I see you got my message," I said

"Yes, I did, and here I am. I bet you're happy to see me." He said

"Hardly," I stated

"That's sad to hear, but enough talk, it's time to end this little game." He said

"I couldn't agree more, father," I said

I drew my katana and let the blade shine against the light of the sun. I looked over to White as she pulled down her goggles and crossed her arms before a pair of energy claws appeared out each gauntlet.

"I see you want to do it the hard way; I was hoping we could end this quickly without a lot of bloodsheds, but I see that won't happen." My father pointed his finger straight at me. "The first who kills my daughter will receive pay for life."

The assassins looked at each other before rushing at White and me. I looked over at my sister. She looked back at me, but I couldn't see her eyes as she goggles had a heavy tint to them. She nodded as I turned back to the assassins. It's time to end this once and for all.

3rd Person POV

Chi and White stood their ground as the assassins kept charging after them. Several of the assassins took to the air to strike from above. Chi and White Claw rolled out of the way of the foxes who leaped into the air. Chi raised her katana to block the blade of a fox. Her ears spun around picking up the sounds of more foxes coming at her. She split her tail and smashing two of her nine tails into the body of the assassin holding up her katana. She spun on her feet to see three foxes in the air. She quickly grabbed a set of throwing blades and let them loose. She was able to nail two assassins in the head, but the third blocked her throwing blade.

Chi sidestepped out of the way of the fox before spinning back around and plunging her katana into the fox's back and threw his heart. Chi removed her katana and turned back to see White Claw holding up to the assassins against her. White was quick and nimble on her feet. She used her wings to gain an advantage in battle. Plus the foxes were unsure how to deal with her skills. Unlike Chi's many Fox Techniques, Sphinxes used what was called sand magic.

One of the fox assassins tried to use a set of throwing knives against her, but White threw up a wall of sand. She jumped out of it and wrapped her tail another the fox's throat and quickly used it to snap the fox's throat. Two more foxes came at her, but White leaped into the air and fired off her energy claws, which pierced the foxes before detonating, leaving nothing but the legs of the foxes. White smiled as she ran at another set of assassins.

She dodged their attacks and swiped at them with a new set of claws. She made sure she swiped for their necks, splitting their jugular vein. She used walls of sand to keep her blind spots safe from attackers. She took to the air to dodge a set of knives, which killed a fox behind her. She landed and raised her arms creating columns of sand. She pointed to the foxes in front of her, and the sand went at them. It covered foxes in a cocoon of sand. She gave a dark smile before clasping her hands shut, crushing the foxes in the sand.

White turned as she watched Chi run by her, heading straight for her father. But first, she had to deal with a set of assassins in front of her. Chi began to sign before drawing her katana and disappearing. The assassins looked for her, but each screamed as she passed them. She landed behind the last fox and sheathed her katana before turning and watching as the upper bodies of the split away from their lower bodies. Blood began to pool from both ends as they laid on the ground. She turned her attention back to her father. Chi looked over to White as she landed on the ground on all fours and releasing yet another dead fox from her tail.

The two nodded as they went right after Chi's father, Cho Lang. He growled as he saw the Sphinx and his daughter running towards him.

"Archer!" He screamed

Chi and White stopped as a storm of arrows filled the sky. White placed her hands together and pushed them apart and then clapped them again, causing a doom of sand to surround her and Chi. The arrows struck the dome but didn't get through the sand. Chi looked to see White concentrating on keeping the dome of sand alive. Cho Lang growled as he saw his attack was useless.

"Second wave, attack!" Ordered Cho Lang

Another group of assassins stormed out of the forest. White Claw released the doom to see the second wave coming at them.

"Damn, how many assassins does your father have?" Asked White

"Male foxes will die for my father if it grants them something in return." Said Chi

"So I guess we continue to fight until your father has no more blood to spill." Said White

"On the mark, now would you do the honors?" Asked Chi

White Claw nodded as she placed her hands on the ground. The ground began to rumble out of control causing the assassins gunning for Chi and White Claw to stop in their tracks. They looked around until a large sand needle struck one of the foxes dead in the chest. More and more needles appeared from the ground hitting the foxes dead in the chest. Chi smiled as she booked it towards her father as White Claw killed off the assassins for her.

Keep it up, White Claw, soon it'll all be over, and we can finally rest. Chi kept up her speed towards her father. She held her Katana tight and licked her dry lips. Her heart was pounding in her chest. But as she neared her father; she saw a smug look on his face. Why does he look so smug? Shouldn't he be getting ready to defend himself from me? Chi's ears flicked as she heard something coming soaring towards her. She stopped mid-run to see an arrow land right in front of her. She raised her eyebrows until the arrow glowed a bright light and exploded, which sent her flying. Chi got herself together as she landed on the ground.

"Damn." Cursed Chi

Chi listened as her father began to laugh at her. He pointed his hand, and more arrows began to land around her. Chi's widened as she began to book it away as explosions erupted around her. She watched as an arrow fell in front of her. She didn't have anywhere to go as she began to slide closer and closer to her death. Emperor Cho Lang smiled as he was about to watch his daughter become a shower of blood and guts.

"Chi!"

Chi turned to see White Claw flying right towards her. Chi leaped into the air and caught White's hand as the arrow exploded, which sent the two tumbling into the ground below. The two slowly began to get up from the ground after the explosion that sent them to the ground.

"What's happening, Chi?" Asked White

"It seems my father has outfitted his arrows with Eruption Heads. When the arrow strikes the ground, it explodes." Said Chi

"Can't you detect them before they strike the ground?" Asked White

"No, the arrows are made to be completely silent. Sure I can hear them passing through the air, but I can't tell where they are heading or landing." Said Chi

"Archers, FIRE!" Ordered Cho Lang

Chi and white looked to the sky to see more arrows coming towards them.

"This again, it'll end up just like last time." Said White

A few arrows landed short of them and exploded. The two looked at each other before beginning to run for their lives as more and more arrows struck the ground and erupted into a fireball of death.

"Now what?!" Screamed White

"We run and escape the blast radius." Said Chi

The two continued to run until Chi's ears flicked back and forth. She heard the sound of movement and watched as two fox archers appeared before them and each drew back their bows. Both foxes were pulling back three arrows each. Chi watched as the foxes let go of the string sending the arrows flying towards them. Chi's eyes shrank as she recognized the tip of the arrows.

"Shit." She muttered

Bon Bon POV

I sighed as leaned against the counter of my shop. Just another average day in Ponyville, which meant nothing was happening. I looked at the bundles of candy I had laying out in front of my booth waiting for somepony to buy them. But as usual, I didn't receive many takers, and it was all thanks to the Cakes. I turned my gaze over to the gingerbread building that housed Sugar Cube Corner. I saw they were full of customers waiting to buy something sweet. It made me growl as how they were doing better than me.

I could remember when I was the only sweet shop in all of the town of Ponyville. How ponies would line up outside my store to get one of my candies or request a candy for me to make for them, but that all ended when the Cakes moved into the town. Sure at first, a few ponies went inside and got something, but I still held the market. Sadly, news soon spread about their great sweets, and I was losing pony after pony to them.

What makes their sweets better than mine. Sure the Cakes serve stuff other than candy but isn't candy the best sweets around. I huffed as I laid my head down on the counter on the table.

"Another slow day."

I peeked up to see my lover, Lyra. She had a concerned look on her face. I huffed as I got up and popped my back.

"Yeah, but that's the way it has been since the Cakes moved into town. I'm just happy, I haven't had to shut down the shop because of them," I said

"Doubtful you'll ever have to, Bon Bon. There's still enough ponies who love your sweets." Said Lyra

"I guess you're right," I said

"Aren't I always." She retorted

I just rolled my eyes and rubbed my nose against hers before looking my lips against hers.

"So anything new with you, Lyra?" I asked

Before Lyra could answer, an explosion echoed around Ponyville.

"What was that?" Asked Lyra

Soon more and more followed. Lyra and I ran out of the shop to see smoke rising from the front of meadow outside of Ponyville that split it from the Everfree Forest. What's happening out there? I could see more and more ponies looking and pointing to the smoke. Some murmuring about Ponyville being in danger. Of course something crazy happens to Ponyville, while Xavier is out camping with a portion of the Mane Six. I continued to watch the smoke raise until in the corner of my eye I saw two figures jumping from rooftop to rooftop. I looked at their form and physic before my eyes widened. Shit!

I booked it back to the shop. I ran right up towards my room and opened my closet and pulled out a large metal briefcase. I opened it and pulled out a lantern and turned the knob on the bottom, igniting a green flame. I placed it on the bed and pulled out a piece of paper and quill.

"Bon Bon, what are you doing?"

I turned to see Lyra in the room. I answered her, while I scratched out my note.

"Writing Celestia a letter," I said

"Why, what's happening?" Asked Lyra

"I believe I spotted two fox assassins crossing the rooftops of Ponyville. I believe Cho Lang, the Emperor of Fopan is here, seeking to kill his daughter, Chi," I said

"But how, I thought the princesses were watching for his ships?" Asked Lyra

"I'm not sure, but I need to get word to Celestia immediately. Hopefully, she can get guards or hell, even Xavier here to deal with the problem," I said

I rolled the scroll up and pushed it into the dragon fire. Please get to Princess Celestia quickly. The sound of an explosion echoing close to the store and ponies screaming pulled me from my thoughts on my letter getting to Celestia. I looked out to see ponies running for their lives. Damn, they're in Ponyville. I pulled out my belt and attached it to my waist. It had everything I needed to fight. I looked over at Lyra's concerned face. I can still remember the day I told her I was working for Defense Agency of Equestria or DAE for short. We were agents tasked in each town or city across Equestria to protect it from crime. But the job was dangerous and leads to many agents dying trying to uncover something dark in Equestria's underground.

"I have to protect Ponyville, Lyra; it's my job." I walked up and kissed her on the cheek. "I promise you; I'll be safe. Now stay inside until everything is calm." I kissed her again before leaving to return outside.

"Everypony get off the street and into your homes or the nearest business by order of the DAE!" I screamed

Ponies ran all over the place as they tried to find cover. It was chaos, and the only time it was this bad was when Stray Wolk brought the queen of the Timber Wolves and his speed wolves to Ponyville to kill Xavier. We were lucky to have Xavier as well as his ability to summon the Crystal Shard Dragon of Fire, Meteor. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a Ponyville standing right now.

"Bon Bon."

I turned as I saw Lyra running up to me.

"I told you to stay inside!" I exclaimed

"I know, but I couldn't sit by and not help ponies in need." Said Lyra

I sighed but nodded. I told Lyra to help ponies get to safety as I went after to find out if my hunch was right and Emperor Cho Lang was here. I pressed myself up against a building and turned to see that it was true. He was here, Emperor Cho Lang. He was right now standing over his daughter, who had iron clamps around her arms, feet, and tails. I couldn't see any of her weapons around. I then turned to see White Claw in one of the hands of a fox assassin. She looked completely out of it. She also seemed to be completely unarmed as well.

I moved back and pulled my dart gun from my belt and released the clip. I had a solid nine shots, plus the dart already ready. I pushed the clip back inside and looked to see I had two more clips and my knife as well. Here goes nothing, Bon Bon. I exited the corner with my weapon raised high and pointed it at the Emperor.

"Emperor Cho Lang." I watched as his eyes came in contact with mine. "Stop in the name of the princesses of Equestria."

"Now who are you?" He asked

"I am agent Sweetie Drops of the DAE. You are in violation of the laws of Princess Celestia and Luna. I command you to surround this moment and release Chi and White Claw," I said

"You think I'm going to surrounder to you, a little pony holding nothing more than a pitiful toy weapon." He said

"I won't ask again," I stated

I watched as the Emperor just smiled at me as I held my dart gun tighter as I started to press my finger on the trigger.

"Bon Bon."

I heard Lyra's voice pass over my ears. I turned to see her walking towards me, but with a katana up to her neck. My eyes shrank as I looked at my marefriend now in danger. I turned back as I heard the Emperor laughing.

"Now what a predicament we have here. Well, little pony, you have two options, you can drop your weapon and keep the mint green pony safe, or you can try to hit me, but your pony friend will surely perish." Said Cho Lang

I looked at the Emperor and back at Lyra. I could see there was fear in her eyes as the katana blade grew closer to her throat. I growled as I looked back at the smug looking Emperor. I know what I have to do. I dropped my dart gun to the ground, and it hit with a clank.

"Now, kick it over, and that includes your knife as well." He said

I sighed as I removed my knife as well before kicking both away. I saw the Emperor nod at the fox holding Lyra. He booted Lyra over to me, and I held my arms out as I caught her. She snuggled me as I looked back at the Emperor.

"How cute." He nodded over to the fox holding White Claw. The fox tossed her over, and she hit the ground before rolling to a stop next to us. I broke from Lyra and walked over to White. I placed my hands on her neck. I felt her pulse and sighed as she was still in the land of the living. I looked to see her body had scratched and bruises covering her whole body. Patches of her fur also looked charred and burnt. "Now aim, archers." I looked over to see three archers aiming at us.

"Dear, you don't have to do this." Said the Emperoress

"Sorry, but those who decide to get in my way will die." Said Cho Lang

"Father, this fight is against me, leave them out of it." Said Chi

Cho Lang just looked at his daughter before giving her a wicked smile before turning back at the ponies and the unconscious Sphinx.

"FIRE!" Exclaimed Cho Lang

Both archers released their arrows towards us. I felt the world slow down as I watched the arrows coming towards us. I started to watch my life flash before my eyes. The feeling of Lyra grabbing hold of me hold of me brought me back to reality. I looked at her before returning it as I waited for the end to come. But it never occurred, instead came a cold chill over my fur. I looked to see a massive wall of ice in front of me, Lyra, and White Claw.

I then heard the flaps of wing beats soaring across the air. I looked to see a large dragon in the sky. I smiled as I knew right away who was here. Princess Celestia got my letter! I watched as the dragon landed on the ground on all fours before off jumped Xavier and those who went with him on the camping trip. He seemed to talk to the girls, and they nodded before taking the young ones and running off. He seemed to look up at Meteor before he nodded and Xavier walked up with his brother perched on his shoulder.

Xavier stopped next to me and looked over at us. He seemed to spy the knocked out White Claw. He turned over to me.

"Get yourselves over to Meteor, and I'll deal with the problem." He said

I nodded as I picked up White Claw and ran back to Meteor and set her down as Twilight got to work on her. I turned to see Xavier break down the wall of ice and was now facing Emperor Cho Lang. Go get him, Xavier.

3rd Person POV

Xavier looked at the Emperor of Fopan. His eyes went over each of the fox assassins standing guarding him and the two archers readying their bows for the next shot. Xavier's eyes then landed on the shackled Chi.

"Flame, take down the assassins, and I'll deal with the Emperor. If you can, try to get to Chi and free her." He said

"Got it, brother." Said Flame

Xavier turned back to look at Emperor Cho Lang, "So you're the Emperor of Fopan?"

"In the flesh and you must be the hero of Equestria that I've heard some much about." Cho Lang looked over Xavier. "I have to say; the murmurs don't do you justice."

"You can stop with the pleasantries with me. You think you can come here and attack Chi, one of my harem mates and kill a ponies, without dealing with me, then you're sadly mistaken." Said Xavier

"Yeah, we protect this town and nation, so you mess with a single pony with you mess with us." Said Flame

"Sad, I was hoping you would see reason. But alas you don't seem to want to see reason." Said Cho Lang

"Reason, why would I trust anything you say from a father who enslaves his daughter and sells her off as a sex slave just keep his fur safe from a prophecy." Flame jumped from Xavier's shoulder to the ground. Xavier gripped the handle of his sword and drew it. He pointed the blade right at the Emperor. "I'm only going to say this once, free Chi, leave Equestria and never return. Or you'll know my power."

Cho Lang laughed as he looked at Xavier, "You think you can scare me. You're worst than that pitiful pony. But if you wish to fight, then so be it." Cho Lang began to sign before folding his arms out straight. "But let me tell you, boy, I'm no weakling when it comes to war." A faint green magical glow formed over the arms of Cho Lang and soon two arms appeared out of his body. Each arm reached behind and took hold of a sword in the rectangle case behind him. "If you dare to fight, then come at me."

Xavier readied his sword as Flame created his claws.

"Take the cat thing; the hero is mine." Said Cho Lang

The assassins nodded as they readied their blades for Flame. Both sides stared each other down before Xavier and Flame ran at them with the foxes going right for them as well.

"Remember, non-lethal." Said Xavier

"Right." Said Flame

Flame leaped into the air as he began to tussle with a set of assassins trying to kill him as Xavier raised his sword to block Cho Lang's incoming katanas. The two looked at each other as they held their stalemate.

"I hope you're a ready, boy." Said Cho Lang

"Oh, I am." Retorted Xavier

The two flipped back before Cho Lang pointed at Xavier and his archers fired at him. Xavier quickly formed a pair of small icicles and sent then flying right into the arrows, causing them to explode. Xavier raised his arms to block anything heading for his face. Damn, those arrows are something else. Shit, if I hadn't called that ice wall when I did, there would nothing left of Lyra, Bon Bon, and White Claw. Xavier growled as he thought about losing two of his friends and his newest lover.

"Xavier, above you!

Xavier rolled out of the way as Cho Lang came down right where he stood. Damn that was way to close. But he knew Crystal always had his back in a fight.

"Thanks, Crystal."

"That's why I'm here, Xavier."

Xavier watched as Cho Lang got himself back together. Xavier stared daggers right at Cho Lang his he readied for an attack. Ok, this might be a whole lot harder than I initially thought. Xavier rushed right back into combat. But no matter how hard it gets, I will never give up. Xavier once again clashed with Cho Lang.

Flame looked over at Xavier as he jumped out of the way of three assassins trying to skin him. Flame growled as he raised his orange claws to blocks incoming attacks. He once again got away and had just enough time to belch out a load of smoke. The assassins looked at each other as they waited for Flame to pop out of the smoke, but instead, multiple Flames popped out.

"Surprise!" They all exclaimed

"Now let me show what we Flames can do when you come together." Said the real Flame

The copies nodded as they began to reach for their tails and held them tight before starting to spin in a circle, igniting their bodies. The real Flame smiled as he began to strike each copy, sending them towards the assassins as fireballs. Each copy hit the assassins, knocking them out cold.

Flame landed on the ground and smiled as he pointed to Chi. The copies nodded as they made their way towards Chi and the two archers. But as the copies grew closer to Chi, they began to turn back into smoke. What?! Flame quickly leaped out of the way as an assassin tried to strike him.

"Chi wasn't kidding about you guys being quiet." Said Flame

The assassins looked at Flame as he once again belched out smoke to cover himself before copies went right for the assassins once again. I have a feeling this is going to be a long fight.

Ponies watched the chaos from their homes, and those ponies stuck outside watched from the safety of Meteor. The foxes didn't dare try their luck with Meteor. A few did, but only got met with a blaze of fire. Twilight was kneeling next to White Claw, trying to tend to her wounds. The others were watching the little ones and keeping their eyes on the fight. Bon Bon could see it was a losing battle for Flame as the assassins kept chopping down his copies and preventing him from creating new ones. She also saw that Xavier wasn't on the winning side either

I wish I could do something to help out, instead of sitting on the sidelines. I'm a freaking DAE for Faust's sake! Bon Bon huffed, but then spied her dart gun off to the distance. She couldn't reach it on foot as it would end her right in the middle of the fight.

"Lyra, think you can get my dart gun for me?" Asked Bon Bon

"Sure." Said Lyra

Lyra brought her horn to life and began to cover the dart gun in her green aura. She brought it right over for Bon Bon to catch. She caught it from Lyra's aura and checked it over. Everything seems in place, now it's time I help out. Bon Bon closed her left eye and lined the sights of her gun with an assassin before pulling the trigger and sending dart flying. It hit one of the foxes right in the chest. The second the dart hit, the fox went down. Bon Bon cheered in her mind as she got a hit.

"That was fast." Stated Lyra

"Instant sleep darts." Responded Bon Bon

Twilight looked up to watch as Bon Bon pulled back the hammer to arm another dart. She raised her eyebrow at how Bon Bon got her hands on a dart gun, but one look at the front of her belt told her the whole story.

"You're DAE!" Exclaimed Twilight

"That's right; agent Sweetie Drops is the name, Bon Bon is just a cover name I use while not working as an agent." Said Bon Bon

"What's DAE?" Asked Applejack

"Defense Agency of Equestria, top elites of Princess Celestia. They work undercover in towns and cities across Equestria tackling the toughest of cases and criminals. A risky job as the death rate is ninety percent." Said Twilight

"Yes, but we do what the guards can't." Said Bon Bon

"Well shoot, never expect ya, Bon Bon, tah be a secret agent." Said Applejack

"I'll take that as a compliment; now I have a job to do." Said Bon Bon

She aimed and started to release dart after dart at the fox assassins going after Flame. Flame turned to see a thumbs up from Bon Bon. He nodded as he booked it towards Chi as Bon Bon gave him covering fire.

Cho Lang huffed as he threw down the six katanas his hands were holding. Each one had a clean slice right through them thanks to Xavier superheating the metal with his Fire Sword Wave and then cutting the katanas in half. Xavier smirked as he looked at the Emperor of Fopan.

"What's wrong, finally understand you might have underestimated me." Said Xavier

"Hardly boy, I'm just getting warmed up." Said Cho Lang

Cho lang reached with his original arms and took hold of another two katanas from his carrying case of them. The middle two reached back and grabbed two blades connected to a circular end before fanning them to expose them to be large throwing stars. The last two clamped together to use Fox Techniques.

"Now let's see you deal with me." Said Cho Lang

"Bring it old man." Said Xavier

Cho Lang smirked as he pulled back and tossed the throwing stars at Xavier, which he dodged with ease, before having to avoid a set of ghost throwing blades. The bottom arms pointed at him as more ghost throwing knifes coming at him. Once Xavier dodged those, he heard the throwing stars returning to him. He turned as he saw them coming right him. He leaped backward and eluded both before the Emperor caught them. Xavier landed safely on the ground but breathing heavily.

"What's wrong, you underestimate me." Said Cho Lang

He laughed as he threw the throwing stars once more before quickly signing out his next move. Xavier was able to dodge the throwing stars a fist made of dirt came barrelling towards his face. Cho Lang smiled as he wailed on Xavier with his stone fists. Xavier stumbled back before a fist struck him hard in the face, sending him right towards the building behind him. Xavier crashed right inside as the Emperor caught his throwing stars once again.

Chi struggled against her bonds as she tried to help Xavier and Flame. She growled as she tried to break free, but it was useless as the clamps were magically sealed to only open with the key, which the fox archer next to her had. Sure Chi could try and get the key, but she was under watch from another assassin, who was watching the fight and laughing at the attempts of Xavier and Flame to rescue her and stop her father. Chi huffed as she watched Xavier go right into the building. She winced as she looked over to Flame, who even with Bon Bon's help, was still having trouble with the assassins. She could tell both were getting exhausted from fighting.

I need to help them, but how? Chi continued to struggle against her bonds, but it seemed impossible for her to break them.

"You might as well give up." Chi looked at the assassin guarding her. "You won't break the bonds holding you. You might as well sit back and watch as the Emperor kills the little hero of Equestria."

Chi turned back to see Xavier stumbling out of the building with his clothes torn and blood running down the side of his face. But she could still see his determination in his eyes. Xavier's far from done, but I don't how long he'll hold out. Chi watched as Xavier readied himself and ran at her father and quickly evaded her father's throwing stars and quickly booked to towards my father. He formed a sphere of ice in his left hand and bashed it against her father sending him flying. Go Xavier! But to her fear, she watched her father throwing stars coming right at him. She could see Xavier notice them, but a solid punch to the face from Chi's father stopped his evasion.

Both throwing stars made their way right towards Xavier before striking him right in the back, causing Xavier to scream out in pain. She then watched as her father used four arms to pound Xavier and the other two to strike his body full of cuts. Finally, it ended with an uppercut to Xavier. Xavier went up in the air and landed on the ground with his back facing up with the throwing stars sticking out of his back.

"Xavier!" Screamed Flame

Chi watched as Flame didn't see a fox assassin in front of him. The assassin delivered a powerful kick to Flame's stomach, sending him right into a building. The assassin laughed before falling to the ground. She looked to see Bon Bon pulling down her dart gun. The assassins then turned and went towards the ponies, but Meteor kept them away.

"I hope you're watching nine-tail devil fox because your little hero is about to meet the afterlife." Said the assassin next to her.

Chi turned her head to see her father looming over the exhausted Xavier. She could see a wicked smile on his face as he readied to finish him off. NO!!! Chi struggled with all her might, but she still couldn't get free. The assassin just laughed and was about to speak when a katana went right through his skull. The archers turned, but throwing blades each met their skulls dropping them dead. Chi watched as the katana left the skull of the assassin. She watched the now dead fox fall to the ground, revealing her mother who did the deed.

"Mother?" She questioned

Her mother went over and took the key from the dead archer and unlocked Chi. She didn't say a word as she pulled off a necklace of magical crystal and gave them to Chi as well as the katana. She looked into her daughter's eyes.

"Go, protect your friend, finally put an end to your father's rule." Said the Empress

Chi nodded as she wrapped the magical crystals tight around her left hand and sheathed the katana before signing and disappearing.

"Now it seems your time is up boy, but it was fun while it lasted. I can't remember the last time I had a worthy opponent. Though I was hoping for something more from the hero of Equestria, Oh well, goodbye hero of Equestria." Said Cho Lang

He brought down his katana, but in a flash, another katana stopped him. His eyes widened as he looked at his daughter blocking him from his kill. Chi pushed off her father and quickly slammed her foot into his stomach, which pushed him away from her friend.

"But how?" Asked Cho Lang

"That would be me, dear." Cho Lang turned to his wife. "I freed our daughter because I can no longer live in your shadow. I'm tired of watching you destroy Fopan and everything my father stood for when he ruled. It's finally time the rule of Cho Lang ends." Said the Empress

"Bitch, how dare you betray me?!" He demanded

"Enough father." Cho Lang turned to Chi as she pointed her katana at him. "It's time I fulfill the prophecy and kill you once and for all. I won't let you hurt my friends and sister no longer. So prepare yourself, father, for it's time to end our little feud."

"You think you can bet me. Please, your little hero friend couldn't even beat me." Said Cho Lang

Soon an arrow struck Emperor Cho Lang's magical crystal ending his multiple arms ability. He looked at the now dead crystal and up at an archer lowering their bow. But he could see it wasn't a male fox because it had child-bearing hips.

"Now I think it's a fair fight." Said the Empress

Cho Lang turned to see his wife now stood with two female foxes in black uniforms like the archer. He growled before turning back to his bastard daughter. Chi looked at the magical crystals in her hands for tossing them away. She held her katana tight in both her hands.

"I don't need magic to win father, all I need is my katana and my heart." Said Chi

"Then bring it on, nine-tail devil fox!" Screamed Cho Lang

Chi positioned her feet before booking it towards her father, who did the same. The two met in a clash of metal as their katanas stuck each other. Rarity and Fluttershy ran out to pick up Xavier, who looked at the battle in front of him. Applejack held Flame as she made it back to Twilight who had finished helping heal White Claw's wounds. Xavier watched the fight as Fluttershy and Rarity dragged him back. Go Chi, go!

Chi jumped back as she landed on her feet as her father came at her. She quickly split her tails to attack her father as he wailed against her with his katanas. Chi pushed everything she had to finish the fight against her father. Chi sent three tails towards her father, two sliding against his blades, the other slamming itself into his gut. Chi smiled, but a quick fist to the face, pulled her tail free. She grabbed her muzzle as she felt blood begin to leak from it. She shook her head to get the fog out and just in time as her father was nearly able to kill her.

Chi somersaulted away before glancing at her father. She felt blood still dripping from her muzzle. Her father was looking at her as blood leaked from his open wound. They both growled before running at full speed to see who would finish the other. Xavier and the ponies watched with baited breath as the two got closer and closer to each other. The Empress smiled as she knew the end of her husband was here.

Finally, the two met and each swung their katanas at each other. The two came to a sliding stop as the town of Ponyville held their breath to see who would fall and who would stand. Xavier bit his lip hoping not to see Chi fall to the ground. But it was the screams of the Emperor that pulled everypony from their minds. Both of Emperor Cho Lang's hands flew from his body as blood gushed from his wounds. Chi smiled as she released her tail and suddenly Cho Lang went quiet as nine tails poked out of his body, one which came out of his skull. Chi pulled back her tails as her father fell dead to the ground. She smiled as she turned her nine-tails back to one as she sheathed her katana. The fight was over, Chi had won.

Xavier POV

I watched as Chi sheathed her katana. I looked at the now dead Emperor as blood pooled around him. I sighed as the fight was finally over. I looked at Chi as she eyed her father. I guess the prophecy came true, Chi did kill her father. I turned to look at her mother as she had a smile on her face. Interesting that his wife even wanted to kill him. But soon the only thing on my mind was the pain erupting from my back. I felt blood oozing down down my back from Twilight having removed the throwing stars from my back.

"There, now hold still while I heal your wounds." Said Twilight

I nodded as I felt Twilight's magic pass over my body. I closed my eyes to relax my body, but the sounds of something cracking in the air caused me to open my eyes to see Celestia and Luna standing in full armor next to about ten Solar and Lunar guards. Celestia's armor was a gold color and covered every inch of her body. Luna had a light blue armor covering her body. Both princesses had their manes and tails tied into tight buns. On Celestia's back was a large spear with the sun at the end of the spear where the blade came out. Luna had a sword on her back that was a light blue color with large wings coming out of the sides of the hilt. In the middle was the symbol of a half moon.

"Search the area for any remaining assassins." Said Celestia

The guards nodded before splitting off and searching Ponyville. I saw Celestia turned to me. I could see she had a concerned look on her face.

"Sorry, we're late." Said Celestia

"No problem Celestia, I'm just glad to see you," I said

Celestia nodded before turning to Bon Bon, "Thank you Agent Sweetie Drops for warning me about Emperor Cho Lang. You saved many lives today."

"Agent Sweetie Drops?" I questioned

Bon Bon turned to me and smiled, "I'll tell you later Xavier."

I nodded as I felt Twilight's magic come to an end, "That's all I can do. You need to get to the hospital to fully heal your wounds."

"Thanks, Twilight," I said

I slowly got to my feet. I looked to see Flame slowly coming back to his senses as well. I turned to see White was still out cold, but happy to see her alive. I then turned to see the Empress coming up with Chi and the three female foxes. She stopped just short of Celestia and Luna as Chi walked over to our side and bent down to look at White Claw. I looked at Chi for a minute before lingering my eyes back up to the Empress.

She bowed to Celestia and Luna before speaking to them.

"It's a great pleasure to meet the princesses of Equestria. I am Ping Long, the Empress of Fopan."

"Same for us, Empress Ping Long." Said Celestia

"Long, yes I remember that name. Did your father rule as Emperor before Cho Lang?" Said Luna

"Yes, my father had me marry Cho Lang believing it would lead to a better future for Fopan after he passed. But my late husband turned Fopan into an empire of hired killers and never sought to build a better Fopan. He became darker after the prophecy of nine-tail devil fox. I began slowly plotted to kill him after he sold Chi away as a slave to Gruff, which took us years to have. I was hoping for the prophecy to be true." Ping Long turned to look at her dead husband. "I guess the prophecy was right. Chi would end his reign as Emperor of Fopan."

"Now what, Empress?" Asked Luna

"I return home and begin a new age for Fopan. Now I believe we have overstayed our welcome here in Equestria." She bowed to the princesses. "Now don't concern yourself with the bodies of the foxes." Said Ping Long

PIng Long snapped her fingers, and female foxes appeared and gathered the dead bodies and the unconscious foxes before disappearing. She smiled as she turned to see her daughter, who was now standing up and turning her way. I watched as the two made eye contact.

"Live a happy life, Chi." Said Ping Long

"I will, mother, and thank you." Said Chi

She smiled and nodded before turning back to me, "Watch my daughter, hero of Equestria. She is now your responsibility to watch and protect."

"I will Empress, you can count on that," I said

"Great, princesses, please come to Fopan one day. I would love to talk treaties and trade agreements once again with Equestria." Said Empress Ping Long

"Yes, I would love that, please just send us a letter when the best time for us to come." Said Celestia

Ping Long nodded before turning and running away with her foxes following behind her. Soon they disappeared leaving only the aftermath of the battle against Emperor Cho Lang. I can't wait to see how long it take to repair Ponyville after this. I looked back at Meteor before nodding to him. He took to the skies before disappearing and allowing me to catch the crystal shard and put it away. I adjusted my shirt and looked over to Chi.

"You going to be ok?" I asked

"Yes, yes I will, now that my father is no more." Said Chi

I smiled as I heard movement and looked to see White starting to come back to reality.

"What did I miss?" She asked

I chuckled as I looked at her, "A whole lot, White, a whole bucking lot."
