After partying for about 2 hours and sticking around to have their pictures taken, Sunset and Inferno decided to call it a night. They had offered to drive Heat and Twilight home, but they declined and preferred to walk home as their houses were a short distance from the school. Inferno and Sunset respected their decision and drove back home, exhausted and ready for a nice night of relaxation.

"Inferno, that was by far the best night of my life. You were pretty amazing on that stage," Sunset said.

“Whaaaat! That was nothing.” Inferno replied with a smile.

"Nothing? You practically blew the roof off," Sunset chuckled.

“Ok. Maybe I may have done my best. But it was to give my future wife the best night of her life.” Inferno stated.

"Which you did. And that was a pretty nice thing you did for Twilight and Heat Blitz, but how did you help Heat plan all of that?"

“He asked for my help two days before the dance, he and I planned everything. My performance was just a bonus.” Inferno explained.

"I'm surprised he was able to afford that ring, it must've cost him a fortune," Sunset stated.

“Well… I may have also… handed him a $1,000 check so he could purchase it.” Inferno honestly stated.

"Was that from the fortune your father left you in his will? If so, that was a very sweet thing you did for him." Sunset said.

“My dad left me a lot after he passed, so I thought I could spend it only to bring my friend’s happiness.” Inferno said.

"Not a bad choice. By the way, what was the reason you wanted to join the S.W.A.T team?" Sunset asked.

Inferno sigh when she asked that question, but he willingly gave his answer. “Well at first, when I was 10, I wanted to be an architect. Since I was so brilliant with my nanotech, I thought I might use it to help design some amazing structures and skyscrapers for the future, also buildings for the poor and homeless to find a safe haven in. But after my father’s death, I had completely forgotten my dream and was hell bent on vengeance. But after when I thought my father’s murderers were all captured, I didn’t know how to readjust my life. So I joined the military, serving my country and taking out any terrorist organization who threatens it. And ever since I resigned, the only purpose I had was shooting guns and capturing bad guys. That’s what I was built to be, so I thought I might as well continue to do that, without having to senselessly killing another soul.” he explained.

"I see. So you want to bring justice in a more peaceful manner," Sunset said. "I think Heat Blitz is really rubbing off on you. Or is it your father? Or could it be both? Well, whoever it is, I'm right behind you 100%."

“Thanks Sunset,” Inferno said, then he pulls on the collar of his suit as he began to sweat a little bit underneath. “I can’t wait till we get back to the apartment, I need to get out of this suit.”

"Yeah, those suits are fancy, but highly stuffy. Although… when you do change out of those clothes, be sure to save me a front row seat so I can check you out, babe," Sunset said, licking her lips.

“Not if I get a look at your new curves first,” Inferno replied with a sly tone. “Cause you look 20% more sexy than you originally were.”

"Oh, it is on, my handsome, hung stud," Sunset said, rubbing his cock through his pants. Inferno began to get aroused as he removed one of his hands from the wheel, driving one handed, and groped Sunset’s left breast roughly in a way she liked.

“Can I least try to drive us safely home, so that I can properly pay you back for distracting me.” Inferno replied.

"Yeah, best be on the safe side. And I'm assuming we won't be seeing Twilight and Heat for a while once they make it to Canterlot University," Sunset said.

“I’m sure we’ll see them some time in the future. Just because friends are going to be away for a while doesn’t mean they’ll never be your friend.” Inferno stated.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm just so proud of how far those two have come. It seemed like only yesterday when they barely started dating, now they're engaged to be married," Sunset said, staring out the window happily.

"Just like us. Speaking of which, I'm curious of what those two are planning to do. The party was great, but something tells me the after party is just about to begin," Inferno said.

---

Inferno didn't realize how right he was. For at this moment, Heat had just arrived at Twilight's house and was about to head home himself. "Well, Twilight. I guess I'll see you in class. You have yourself a goodnight sleep." he said, giving his fiance a hug and a kiss.

"Umm...Heat?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah, what is it?" he asked.

"I was… kinda wondering. Do you want to… you know… spend the night? I've got some extra space in my room if you'd like to, I'll even let your mom know you'll be spending the night," Twilight offered.

"That's nice, Twilight, but are you sure your parents will approve of me spending the night here on a school night? Because I don't want to cause any trouble with them," Heat said.

“I’m sure it’ll be fine. Besides they wouldn’t dare try and forcefully kick my fiance out of the house if I invite him to stay.” Twilight said.

"True, true. Alright, I'll stay here for the night. Thanks, Twi," Heat said. Twilight unlocked the door, then stepped inside as Heat followed her into the house. But then, both love birds were caught by surprise when Twilight's mother took a picture of them.

"Ooh, that'll be a keeper," she said.

"Mom, how long were you waiting there?" Twilight asked.

"After you left for your date with your boyfriend. Oh, you've made me so proud of you Twilight. Isn't that right, honey?" Velvet asked her husband, sitting next to her.

"Yes, though I still can't believe my little girl has grown into a fine young lady and met someone who's given her a reason to smile again. Heat Blitz, I have no doubt you'll keep doing great for yourself and our daughter," Night Light said.

"Thank you, sir. I promise to do the best I can to keep her happy," Heat said, pulling her gently into a warm hug, making Twilight giggle.

"No need for the formalities, young man. As far as I'm concerned you're already family. Anyways, we're gonna head out into town to grab a few drinks. You to behave yourselves while we're gone," Night said. He walked over to the front door and grabbed his coat from the coat wrack and his hat. While Night wasn't looking, Velvet came up to Twilight and handed her a packet of birth control pills and winked at her.

"Be sure to make them last," she whispered.

Twilight blushed a little from her mom’s statement, but tries to hide it. “I will, have a fun night.” she whispers back. Velvet giggles before joining up with her husband, heading out the door.

"Be back later, you too," Velvet chimed before closing and locking the door. Now that the cost was clear, Twilight looked back at Heat Blitz.

“Thank God! I thought they'd never leave.” Twilight said.

"Your parents are a one of a kind. So what shall we do now, Twilight?" Heat asked.

"First things first, we still gotta let your mom know where you're at," Twilight said.

"Right, I'll have that taken care of," Heat said, getting out his phone. He dialed his mom's number and waited for her to pick up. Twilight treated herself to a nice view of her fiance's ass while he made the call. "Hey mom, it's me. Twilight offered to let me stay the night at her house, so I won't be back until tomorrow after school."

"..."

"Yeah, okay. I will. See you then, mom," Heat then hung up and put his phone back in his pocket just as Twilight snuck a pinch on his butt, making him yelp, then turn towards Twilight. "What'd you do that for?"

"Can you really blame me for wanting to touch your cute butt?" Twilight said.

"You think my butt is cute?" Heat asked.

"Why not? You thought my butt was cute. But anyways, let's head upstairs. There's one more thing I want to do in order to make this night even more special," Twilight said.

Heat suddenly caught on and carried Twilight bridal style. "Allow me… dear," Heat said playfully, making Twilight giggle again. Heat Blitz walked up the flight of stairs and headed straight for Twilight's bedroom. She opened the door and let Heat carry her inside and then sat her down on the bed before he went back to close the door. Heat then walked over to Twilight, sitting on the edge of her bed.

"You were planning this all along, weren't you?" he asked.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Twilight replied in a teasing tone.

"Oh no?" Heat asked, turning towards his fiance, putting on a sly smirk. "Well then, why don't we see about that?" he then lunges at Twilight and assaults her with tickle attacks all over her body.

"Hey!" she giggled, squirming around, trying to stop him from tickling her. “Stop that! I’m ticklish you know!”

"N'aww, is me precious Twilly-Willy that ticklish?" Heat asked, tickling her even more.

“HAHAHAHA! Stop!” Twilight burst with uncontrollable laughter as her fiance kept continuing his tickle attacks. Just before she was gonna pass out from lack of oxygen, Heat finally stopped and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"You're so cute, Twilight," he said before giving her another kiss right on the lips. Twilight pushed him off of her and then proceeded to strip herself of her prom dress.

"I'll make sure to get back at you for that. But right now, I made a promise to make this a night to remember and I never go back on my word," Twilight said, standing up while she undid her dress and let it fall freely to the floor. Heat stood up and took off his suit, throwing it on the floor with her dress.

Now both of them were naked and never took their eyes off each other. "Twi-" Heat said before she shushed him.

"No more talking…" she said, walking up to him. Heat understood and opens his arms out for her, embracing her in a hug as the two locked their lips together. Heat could feel her enormous boobs press against his skin and trying to push him down on the bed by bending forward. Heat leaned back and laid down on the bed.

Twilight separated her lips from Heat's and moved downwards towards his erect shaft, standing at attention. Twilight stroked his massive dick tenderly before capturing it between her breasts. Heat's body shivered in pleasure. Twilight proceeded in giving her fiance the best tittyfuck he only dreamed of having.

Heat moaned quietly to himself, basking in the glory of his special treatment. Twilight giggled watching him squirm just from having her boobies pleasure his massive dick.

"Enjoy your treatment, Heaty. Because the fun has only just begun," Twilight said seductively.

Twilight kicked it up a notch, opening her mouth up and taking in the top part of her lover's cock and bobbed her head, sucking down on his shaft while massaging it with her boobs. Heat's body shivered in bliss. He groaned, using everything he had to not cum too early.

But the intense pleasure was really tearing down the walls, weakening his defenses. The choices he has is let go or resist, which is impossible. Heat gripped the bed sheets tightly, throwing his head back as jets of his sperm shot deep in her mouth. Twilight gulped down every last drop greedily. Not a single drop escaped her lips and then she gave his shaft a few more licks before letting go.

"Tasty as always," she said, crawling up to him, face-to-face. Heat turned the tables on her, laying her down on the bed while he towered over her before moving down to look at Twilight's shiny, wet slit.

"You always tasted me, now I'll do the same to you," Heat said, leaning down. He stuck his tongue out and licked her pussy.

“Nnngh! No fair.” Twilight said as pleasure quickly overtaking her conscious. As Heat’s tongue plunges into her depths, she then begins to moan a little louder. Heat danced his fingers on her thighs while eating out his lovely lady. Her juices tasted so good, he wanted more. His member was throbbing painfully, begging to be used to fuck her like before. But he ignored that pain and pressed onward with his pleasurable assault.

“Ahhhhh~! Yes. Don’t stop.” Twilight moaned. Heat didn't plan on it. He gave her everything he had, from plunging every inch of her love cavern to playfully licking and rubbing her clit, which really drove her nuts. Twilight grabbed her two massive orbs, fondling them to try and cope with the pleasure, but to no avail. This only aroused her further, making her even wetter than before.

“Ohhhhh~! Fuck!” Twilight moans louder than she did as she was about to hit her climax. Her inner walls clamped around his tongue. With one last big slurp, Twilight came hard in his mouth, moaning from the top of her lungs. Heat gulped down every drop of her cum to avoid choking, then pulled away once she loosened her grip.

"Wow… you tasted so sweet," Heat said between breaths, crawling back up to look at his horny, adorkable sweetheart.

"Now that is over, How about we get to the main course of the evening.” Twilight said.

"I couldn't agree more," Heat said. Twilight took out one of the pills her mom gave her and gulped it down. Heat positioned his cock right at her pussy, then slowly slid it inside. Twilight felt her inner walls stretch from the sheer size of his girth. She moaned as it went deeper inside until it reached her womb entrance.

"Still as big as I remember," she said, stroking his cheek.

"No more talking," he rebutted before pounding her good. Twilight moaned over and over, feeling her lover's shaft plow her needy pussy like a jackhammer.

“AHHH! Yes! Fuck me harder!” Twilight screams like a needy slut. Heat gladly obliges and then increases his thrusts, causing her to moan even more. He then grabs her fleshy orbs, fondling them as he continues to rut his fiance harder, causing the bed to shake violently. Twilight rolled her tongue out, shooting her eyes upwards.

She was being sluttified just like before, only this time, it felt more pleasurable. Soon, Heat thrusted so hard, he entered her womb, making her shriek slightly.

“YES! MORE! MORE!!!” she shouted, as her mind quickly turns blank. “Fuck me! Fuck as much as you wish!” She screamed more as Heat kept going with his thrusts. Heat then sucked on Twilight's neck, making her lock her legs around him, holding him there until he would fill her up with his manly milk. She didn't have to wait much longer when she felt his cock growing and throbbing while her pussy got tighter.

Heat removed his mouth from her neck, then planted it with her lips again, thus feeling his climax hit hard, expanding her womb. Twilight screamed into the kiss and came hard, spraying her womanly juices all over his cock. She could still feel his cum shooting inside, bloating her belly each passing second. Heat held his spot, emptying out everything he had inside Twilight. She hugged him and danced her tongue with his.

Soon his cum dumping slowly died down, and later halted. Heat pulls it out of Twilight as they broke their kiss. He then grew exhausted and as Twilight laid down next to him.

"Best… night… ever," Heat said between breaths.

"Best… sex… ever," Twilight said, cuddling up to him.

The two lovebirds chuckle for a bit before they decided to go to sleep.

“Good… night.” Twilight said before she closes her eyes and fell asleep.

"Goodnight… Twily," he replied, snuggling with his fiance as he drifted off to sleep as well.

As these love birds enjoy their peaceful slumber, their lives as high school students slowly come to an end, but their new lives as adults are just around the corner.

5 years later

Canterlot City has witnessed plenty of changes over the years. For one thing, Timber Spruce was finally released from prison and is now on parole. He spends the majority of his life helping his sister keep the camp running, which is still in business. Of course, they added a few things that they thought would be beneficial to any future campers. Things such as a TV in the cabin. Lately, Gloriosa has been taking it easy with her job, making sure not to overwork herself.

For the graduates of CHS, Pinkie and Cheese got married and both work full-time at the Sugar Cafe and had a daughter named Strawberry Cheesecake. Rainbow Dash and Soarin competed in the olympics and opened up their own gym. They also got married and had a son they named Star Striker.

Rarity continues to work at her boutique, but often receives help from her beloved wife, AJ, who still maintains her job at Sweet Apple Acres. They even had a daughter of their own whom they named Apple Jewel. Fluttershy got together with a man she met some time after her graduation and are thinking about starting their own family. Fluttershy is also saving up her money to open up her very own animal sanctuary.

As for Inferno and Sunset, they eventually moved out of their apartments and settled down in a nice house in a nice neighborhood as husband and wife with their daughter, Lily Rose. Inferno is now a member of the S.W.A.T team and is currently rising in the ranks. He was even awarded by the town for saving 20 hostages in a month without getting anyone hurt. He didn’t accept the award though, but he’s grateful for the offer.

Twilight Sparkle and Heat Blitz both got married during their 3rd year at Canterlot University and even had two children. Their 1st born was a girl named Harmony Sparkle. Their 2nd born was a boy named Burning Sparkle. Harmony and Burning always spent their afternoons with their grandparents, aunts and uncles to wait for their parents to pick them up.

Another thing that happened was that Timber Spruce hooked up with one of Eternal's ex-girlfriends, which he didn't mind one bit and even changed her from a heartless, cheating bitch to a more kind and caring girl. Flash also got together with one of Eternal's girlfriends, one who was a spoiled money grubber, whom he changed into a generous, compassionate woman.

Eternal Flames, however, his life was brought back on track when he became a husband to his three wives, the Dazzlings. He still works at the auto-shop, fixing cars for a living, but he also became an uprising professional boxer with a steady record of 15-0, all wins by knockout. Every time he had a match, he would buy tickets for his wives and 6 children to come and watch him mop the floor with his opponents.

There were times when he and Inferno hung out some time, after finally getting over his grudge. They would even have sparring matches together, in fact Inferno would always help him with his training. In every match, the two would not overpower the other and always ended in a draw. But the two would laugh it off and buy each other drinks after the matches.

Before all of this, it came as a surprise to Eternal when the Dazzlings took a liking to him. The day those girls met him and he took them in was a day he never regretted to this day. He and the Dazzlings live in a big 3-story house that was big enough for them and their children. Adagio gave birth to two beautiful girls named Serenade Dazzle and Searing Melody. Aria gave birth to two handsome boys named Tenor Flames and Soprano Blaze. Sonata had a boy and a girl. Her son was named Baritone Scorch and her daughter's name is Moonlight Sonata.

Looking after this many kids is a tough job for Eternal, but he doesn't care as long as they can still live happy lives. And tonight, all of his friends and family were coming to see him in his latest match against the world champion.

And it was going to be a really intense match-up. The boxer he’s facing is from Stalliongrad, with an undefeated record of 20-0, with only 19 by K.O. His name is Kimba “The White Lion” Lionheart.

The town of Canterlot was stoked about the matchup and all stood by Eternal as he trains to face his opponent.

But to Twilight, Sunset, and everyone, it was the day they all meet up together for 5 years. It was really a big day for them.

As the girls all met up at the cafe to catch up on things, the boys were over at the Canterlot Gym, helping Eternal train.

"It's been quite a while, hasn't it?" Sunset asked.

"I'll say. How have you all been?" Rarity asked.

"Things have been going super-duper great! Cheese and I are planning on adding a few more dishes to the menu and we're close to getting a new oven and stove!" Pinkie said.

“Hehe, you certainly haven’t changed one bit, Pinkie.” Applejack said.

"Speak for yourself, AJ. I've seen you around town, delivering apples to the supermarket. You haven't changed either," Rainbow said.

"So what's the story with you, Rainbow? Anything new happening at the gym?" Twilight asked.

"You bet! We've got some real beefed up contenders. If we train them hard enough, they'll be ready for the next Olympic games!" Rainbow said. "By the way, how are you and the kids coming along?"

“Lilly is over at Apple Acres hanging out with Apple Jewel, I asked Applejack if she can stay there for awhile since is still Snowdrop and Nyx are finishing up in college.” Sunset replied. “In fact they’re about to graduate just before Eternal’s match-up. I say they would be very excited to see it.”

"And have you noticed how those two are getting more attached with each other? I think I sense another love in bloom," Twilight said.

"What about your kids, Twilight? Are they doing okay?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah, I left them at my brother's house to play with their cousin, Flurry," Twilight said. "How about you, Fluttershy? Any chance of having children?"

'Well… not yet. But when I save enough money to open my animal sanctuary, I'll devote more time into being a mother," Fluttershy said.

"That's nice. So how much more do you need to open it up?" Sunset asked.

"About $5,000 more. I'll get there eventually," Fluttershy confirmed. "Changing the subject though, how are your husbands doing? You know… aside from what they're doing right now."

"Inferno's been doing what he does best: saving lives, busting bad guys, spending time with me and Lilly every chance he got," Sunset said. “Hehe, I remember when he one time punched the commissioner in the face when he was denied a week off to spend time with Lily on Christmas.”

"Damn, the commissioner must've been a massive dick. What was his problem anyways?" Rainbow asked.

“No idea, but he was later fired when the department discover that he abused his wife and arrested him.” Twilight said. “After that, Heat told me that his brother had been promoted to the position.”

"You mean Blue Flare? That certainly is news. By the way, how is he and Crimson coming along these days?" Rarity asked.

"They're fine… even managing to pull through after… well… after Flame Blast passed away," Twilight said.

“Even Inferno was devastated. Flame and his father fought together and Inferno fought with him against terrorists.” Sunset added. “Even after the funeral, Inferno never left his side for 3 hours.”

"During the funeral, Eternal didn't shed a tear, but he did make a speech about his grandfather, praising him for serving his country. But after the funeral and returning home, Heat heard him crying his eyes out. He kept apologizing left and right for acting so rotten and cruel," Twilight said, looking down.

"That's the first time in all his years that he's ever shed tears of sadness," said a female voice from the entrance. The girls all looked and saw the Dazzlings. "Mind if we sit down with you?"

"Of course, come, darling," Rarity said.

The Dazzlings walked over and took their seat with the rest of the girls. "We heard everything about what happened after his grandfather died. And you know… we were actually relieved to see him this way," Aria said.

"What? Why?" Fluttershy asked.

"When you stop to think about it, it's like a weight was finally lifted off of him. Ever since he was kidnapped, he's lost any reason to feel sad. I think his feelings were buried away deep inside him for so long that he didn't know how to let them out… until the day Flame Blast departed." Adagio said.

"Poor Eternal," Sunset said. "I feel sorry for him."

"Yeah, the dude's gone through hell, but did he complain? Nope! He sucked it up and moved on with his life like a man," Aria said.

"Speaking of which, how did you all wind up marrying Eternal again?" Rarity asked.

"It's simple: Sonata's cheerful personality gives him hope and she doesn't judge him like other people in his life did. Aria fell for him because he's the only one man enough to handle her bad attitude and help tone down her anger. And as for me? Well, I found his semi-cold eyes to be incredibly arousing. He even helped us get our best singing voices back," Adagio explained.

“How did he do that!?” Rainbow asked.

"Vocal sessions. Our gems are still cracked, but he tried to put them back together with super glue and…" Sonata reached under her shirt and showed her gem, still cracked, but it's still partly put together. "...you can tell he tried his hardest to put it all back."

"Awwww, that's sweet," Pinkie said.

“I agree. That’s gotta be the most noble thing he’s ever done.” Twilight added.

"And just thinking about it makes Aria blush so deeply," Dagi said, teasingly. Aria's face lit up like a red Christmas light from hearing her secret get blabbed out.

"ADAGIO!!!" she shouted.

“What?” Adagio asked carelessly.

"I guess some things never change," Sunset said. "By the way, when did your husband say his match starts?"

“Yes he did!” Sonata replied. “He’s gonna whoop ass tomorrow night at 9:30pm.”

"I heard the champion has a perfect winning streak with more K.O wins," Rainbow said.

"That's right. Most of the fights the champion has fought never make it past the 3rd round. His punches are tough enough to break a man's bones," Aria said.

"And only one man lost by decision. He felt like he was trapped with the king of the beasts, at least that's what he said in the interviews. It was enough to make him retire while he still had a face to begin with." Adagio said.

"Does Eternal have a ring name?" Twilight asked.

"The Phoenix King. In all the fights he's been in, there were times when he was knocked down by some of the toughest baddies, but he rose up as quick as a flash like Eternal was gonna soar through the sky in a blaze of fire. Hence why they call him "The Phoenix King." Sonata said in a dramatic tone like she's narrating a story or movie.

“Wow thats sounds badass! He ties with Inferno for having cool codenames.” Rainbow said.

"Oh? Are you talking about him being "The Shadow Knight?" Sonata asked.

“Yeah Inferno earned that name because he killed so many terrorists in an instant and he does it under the radar or from in the shadows. He caused even the Sons of Sombra to fear him. Especially with his record of 16,704 kills.” Sunset explained

"Damn. Good thing he's your husband. I like tough guys, but not killers, even though he's a good guy at heart," Aria said.

“It's true that Inferno has a dark past, but he can be quite a sweetheart when you get to know him better.” Fluttershy stated.

"I know he's a good guy. Just look at what he's doing to Eternal?" Dagi said, smiling.

"By the way, what's Heat Blitz been up to these days?" Sonata asked.

"Heat Blitz has been devoting his time into studying therapy. He wants to become a therapist just like his sister-in-law. He was inspired to help others become better people after what happened between him, Timber and Eternal. He believes there's still loads of people who need someone who will listen to their problems. If Heat keeps this up, he might graduate a year early like I might," Twilight said.

“That sounds splendid, darling.” Rarity said.

"Sounds like he's got his future planned out. What about you, Twilight? What have you been studying at the University?" Sunset asked.

"Well, since Celestia isn't going to be Principal for long, I'm studying to become one myself. This way, when she goes into retirement, she'll be able to look forward to the school not collapsing into the ground," Twilight said.

"Still the egghead we know and love. You're one in a million, Twi," Rainbow said.

“Aww thanks Dash.” Twilight replied with a blush.

"You're welcome," she replied.

"Anyways, I'd better head on home. Otherwise the kids'll raid Shining Armor's cookie jar," Twilight said, getting up from the table. "It was nice seeing you all again. I'll see you all tomorrow night at the Canterlot City Dome."

"Tell Heat we all said "hi," and best of wishes to you two," Sunset said.

"I'll do that. See you all later," Twilight said before walking out of the cafe.

"We'd better get back home, too. Eternal is about to do the weigh-in tonight and we gotta prepare him a big meal. He's been fasting for 10 whole weeks," Adagio said.

"Like Mickey Goldmill said: For a 45 minute fight, you gotta train for 45,000 minutes! That's 10 weeks, 10 hours a day! He's been busting his ass hard, so we're gonna make sure he eats well when he comes home," Aria said.

"Just… don't try and get too creative, Aria. Remember the last time you cooked? We had to pump his stomach because you added that one ingredient," Sonata said.

"How was I supposed to know that puffer fish was poison?" Aria asked

"Uh… did the barbs not give it away? For fuck's sake, you're a former siren, Aria. How long have you been out of water to not know that?" Dagi teased with a gloating smirk.

"SHUT UP!" Aria yelled.

"Okay, I think she gets it. Anyways, we'll see you girls tomorrow," Sunset said.

"For realsies?" Sonata asked.

"For realsies," Sunset nodded. “Anyway I better go also, Inferno is coming home tonight and he’s gonna be happy to see Lily and also Snowdrop again.”

The Dazzlings and Sunset and left their seats and headed back to their homes. Soon, the others left to get back to their homes as well, Rarity leaving with AJ to help her around Sweet Apple Acres and to pick up little Apple Jewel. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy went home to their husbands who waited for them there. Rainbow Dash then headed back to the gym to meet up with Soarin and her son.

Today, these families rest easy, but tomorrow night, the excitement is about to begin.

---

The next day, time went by real slowly, but everyone showed up at the Canterlot Dome, each of them got front-row seats. Crowds were gathering around and filling up the stadium. Meanwhile, in the dressing rooms, opposite sides of the dome, the champion and Eternal Flames were mentally preparing themselves.

Eternal stared intensely at his reflection in the mirror. Inferno walks up to him with a water bottle in his hand, but he also wore a shirt with a logo saying “The Reign of the Phoenix King”. Eternal had on a set of black boxing trunks with a red trim.

“You ready, buddy.” Inferno asked. Eternal looked over at his friend and coach, nodding in reply. "Good, then remember this guy may be a champ, but he does have flaws. Find them and expose them, you’ll make it. This is gonna be our biggest fight of our lives. We may lose it, but at least we’ll go down swinging.” Inferno then wraps his arm around Eternal’s shoulder, smiling alongside him in front of the mirror. Eternal smiled as well.

“Hey guys,” Soarin calls out to the two. “We’re about head out in two minuted.”

"Before I forget, you guys need to know," Flash said. Inferno had invited him to help with the cuts and swelling. "The champ is no pushover. And I won't lie, he's as tall as freaking Celestia. He always starts things off by letting his previous foes play into his hands, then he goes in for the kill."

"I don't care if I get massacred, I'm gonna declaw this ferocious feline," Eternal said.

“That’s it, Eternal. Here’s advice. If he does let you play into his claws, then you make him regret doing it.” Inferno stated.

"Right," Eternal replied, keeping his straight face.

"Okay guys, it's time!" Soarin said. Eternal, Inferno and Flash followed Soarin out of the dressing room and down the hall, leading to the stadium. Right away, the crowd cheered for Eternal and the spotlight shined down on him as he made his way towards the ring.

"Look! Look! Here comes daddy!" Searing Melody shouted. Everyone in the group could see their friend climbing up into the ring, keeping his brave straight face. "Daddy! Daddy, down here! Can you see us?" Eternal looked to his left, seeing his daughter calling out to him and raised his fists up, smiling at them. Soon everyone cheered after he raised his fists to them.

Suddenly, seconds later, the lights dimmed, then turned towards the opposite side of the ring. Emerging from that side was this built-up, 6'4 tall man with silver white hair and blue eyes. He sported golden boxing trunks with white trims, holding up the championship belt. He made his way over to the ring, his eyes focused on Eternal. The champion soon steps into the ring and of course, the crowd cheered for him as much as they did Eternal.

Soon, the host walked into the center of the ring with a mic in his hand. "Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for this exciting event.” The crowd cheered and applauded in reply. “In the red corner to my right. Standing at 6’4”, weighing 235 pounds, with an undefeated record of 20 victories with 19 by knockout. The champion…. “The White Lion”... Kimba Lionheart!”

The champion raised his fist in the air, receiving applause from most of the stadium, then moved back to let the host finish. “And in the blue corner to my left. Standing at 6’0”, weighing 210 pounds, with an undefeated record of 15 victories, all by knockout. The rising underdog…. “The Phoenix King”... Eternal Flames!”

Eternal also raised his fist up and receive a high amount of applause. The girls, their children, and Eternal’s family cheered the loudest. Once the cheering stopped, both fighters walked to the center of the ring where the referee was waiting.

"Okay, boys. I'm gonna lay down the rules. Watch your low blows and rabbit punches. In case of a knockdown, you go to a corner I tell you to and you stay there until I tell you to come out. Is that understood?" he asked. Both fighters nodded. "Any questions?" both fighters shook "no." "Okay, then let's shake hands then head back to your corners, let's go."

Of course, both fighters touched gloves out of respect, but just as they were gonna turn… "A lion vs a canary… I like these odds," Kimba said.

"But can you handle this canary's spiciness? I think not," Eternal replied before both fighters returned to their corners.

The audience waits in anticipation for these brave fighters and the start of the bell. Inferno and the guys gave Eternal some last minute advice in order to ease some of his stress.

“Remember! Find his weaknesses, expose ‘em. Tear him down each round.” Inferno said.

"Got it," Eternal said. As he waits in his corner, he stares down the champ. He can feel the pressure the champ's trying to put on him. The fear he invoked into other fighters before him.

*DING*

And just like that, the bell has rung and right away, Kimba circled the ring slowly, keeping one of his arms up and Eternal circled the ring as well, but kept both arms up, not knowing what tricks Kimba has up his sleeve. Then, suddenly, the champion lunges at Eternal. He catches him just in time to throw a sharp left jab in the champ's direction.

Kimba, however, ducked and backed up a bit and kept his hand up to his face. When he removed his gloved hand from his face, he revealed a small cut on his forehead where blood was trickling down. The champ was pissed.

Eternal and Kimba rushed at each other and threw some of their deadliest jabs. Some of their punches sliced the air, others were blocked. But then… *BAM*, Kimba lands a right hook to Eternal's face and knocks him 7 feet away from him, slamming him right into a corner. The crowd gasped from the sheer power of the champ's punches. But the one who was most surprised was Eternal.

His troubles were just starting as Kimba closed in on Eternal and threw a barrage of punches from each side, leaving him to only block.

“ETERNAL GET OUTTA THERE!” Inferno shouted to him from outside the ring.

Right when Kimba broke his guard with an uppercut, Eternal countered with a downwards right straight to the face. As the champ became stunned from the attack, Eternal never gave him time to breath as he continues to attack Kimba with several combos until he put the champ against the corner.

“Give him hell dad!” Tenor Flames cheered with his siblings. Their mothers, along with the girls and Eternal’s family cheered him on as he was tearing down the champ.

As Eternal gave another uppercut to Kimba. The bell sounded in the arena.

*DING* *DING*

The first round has ended. Both fighters returned to their coaches and sat down on the stools. Kimba didn't talk much, just focused on breathing and keeping his head in the game while his coach gave him some advice.

"He nailed you pretty good. You gotta watch out and don't waste your breath trying to take him out in an early round. Just stick and move," his coach said.

On the other side, Inferno and the boys wash off the blood that spilled from the cuts that had been inflicted on Eternal. Flash gave him sips of water, and then presented a cup to him as Eternal spits out water mixed with blood he had in his mouth. Inferno then gives him some advice before the second round could begin.

“You see him over there, right! He’s bleeding, he’s hurting. You just proved he’s not a machine or a lion, he’s a man!” Inferno stated. “Keep doing what you’re doing, but avoid his attacks, tire him out! Got it.” Eternal nodded, panting lightly.

"I got all night to put him to sleep. But you're right, I gotta watch out. He's the world champion for a reason," Eternal said.

Meanwhile, out in the audience, Everyone was shocked at what they just witnessed. "That was a close call! That guy's an animal!" Rainbow said.

"No way! Dad's way stronger than that bozo! Come on, dad! Tear him to shreds!" Soprano shouted, while jumping up and down.

"You can do this, Eternal!" Pinkie shouted with them.

"Hooray for daddy!" Moonlight Sonata said.

With a few more cheers, Eternal then stands up and soon the bell rings again.

"Don't let him push you around! Show him how tough you really are!" Tenor shouted.

*DING*

Round 2 kicks off, as the fighters left their corners and pace towards the center. As they meet, Kimba throws two hard jabs, but Eternal blocks the attacks and then returned with a right hook to Kimba’s face.

The two fighters circle each other for 10 quick seconds before they traded blows again.

As they move to Round 3, Kimba throws three hard downward punches to Eternal, directly hitting his face repeatedly. But then Eternal dodges his 4th, and then proceeds to deliver 10 body blows into the champ, making him stumble back a bit.

In Round 4, the two rival titans of the ring, threw jabs and hooks at each other, bashing into their faces, not bothering to block each others attack. Then Eternal delivers two nasty right hooks to Kimba’s face, sending the champ straight into the corner.

In the aftermath of round 5, both sides clean up their fighters, who were now breathing heavily and growing tired of exhaustion. Then from round 6 and 8, the two fighters deliver each other hard blows in a montage, spitting out blood as they took the hit. Kimba delivered a nasty blow to Eternal's gut, causing him to spit more of his blood out on the mad, then get nailed with an uppercut, knocking him back.

Rounds 9 through 10, Kimba and Eternal were running out of stamina. Both stayed at close and clinched often just to get back enough air to throw a punch.

Then in the final minutes of round 13, Kimba and Eternal continue to throw random punches into each others faces. And soon the bell for the round to end, sounded. The two still continue fighting as the reff tried to break them up. But Kimba pushed him away, and then grabbed Eternal by the throat and then punches him straight in the face, which caused the girls to feel shocked and mad from such a dirty move. But then Eternal pushes Kimba off of him, lowers his body into the champ to pick him up from the legs, and slams him into the ground like a wrestler. Resulting Eternal’s side and Kimba’s to step into the ring to stop the fight, then soon the water guy from Kimba’s side gets into a struggle with Flash, who then tackles the guy.

Both sides quickly grab their fighters and pull them back to the corners. Kimba, baring his teeth and snarling and Eternal panting heavily, putting on his most terrifying glare.

Round 14, things became a real struggle. Kimba's rage gained him the upper hand and lashed out at Eternal, landing big, thunderous blows to his body and face. Then… with a left hook and a diagonal uppercut, he sinks Eternal into the mat, part of the crowd cheered while the rest shouted for him to get back up.

Eternal's arms shook as he tried picking himself up. The referee counted down Eternal.

"One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight…" he exclaimed. But on the count of nine, Eternal sprung up from the mat, shouting with determination. The crowd cheered louder, along with the girls, seeing that Eternal wasn’t one to give up easily. He turned to the ref and put up his gloves, showing he was still conscious and ready to fight. "Fight!" he shouted after nodding at Eternal.

Kimba slowly closed in on Eternal and he stood in his corner, waiting to counter strike. Kimba launched a left jab, but it was ducked. The 2nd one was ducked as well, then Eternal followed up with a punch to the ribs. He punched so hard, he lifted Kimba a few feet off the ground. He kept assaulting him with blows to the ribs.

*DING DING DING*

And there went the bell, ending the 14th round. Both boxers were escorted to their corners, heavily bruised and barely standing. Both sides wash off their fighters, and refresh them for the final round.

As they clean up Eternal’s wounds, Inferno tries to give one last advice before the final fight.

“Eternal, look at me.” Inferno speaks to him. His injured fighter turned to him, his right eye was swollen and sealed shut. His breathing was heavy.

“Listen to the crowd.” He said. Eternal takes his advice and listen to the crowd, as he listens very closely, he could hear his friends and his family cheering his name.

“This fight is not about winning the belt, and you know this.” Inferno said. “You’re not fighting to be a champion, you’re fighting for your kids, your wives, your friends, your family! That’s all that matters. Let them be your last strength to end this fight. And fight so that your kids can remember how their father battle great odds, to be where he is right now.”

"Not a problem… whether I win or lose… at least I was able to go the distance," Eternal said between breaths.

“That’s right. Now get out there, and go that distance even further.” Inferno responded.

Eternal rose from his seat and walked to the center of the ring at the sound of the bell. Kimba and Eternal touched gloves, smiling at each other.

"To the end," Kimba said. Eternal nodded in agreement.

“To the end” he replied back. Both fighters began exchanging blows. Neither of them are even bothering to put up their guards. Kimba seemed to have the lead, pinning Eternal into the corner, but he retaliated with continuous hooks to the face and body blows. Forget technique, forget strategy, this is just a street fight. And neither man was backing off.

Then, the champ made a big mistake as he threw a wide right hook, which Eternal countered with a corkscrew punch straight to his teeth, knocking him off-balance, whereas Eternal also lost his footing, plummeting to the mat with the champ. The entire crowd gasped in shock, including the girls as they watch the events unfold.

“C’om champ! Get back up!” Kimba’s coach shouts from outside of the ring.

“Get up Eternal! Don’t give up!” Inferno did the same.

After hearing their coaches, both fighters crawled over to the ropes, racing to be the first to get up, as the reff counts down.

"One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine…" When he reached nine… It was Eternal who rose to his feet, while Kimba sank back down into the mat. "TEN! You're out!" the ref shouted to Kimba. The crowd cheers loudly, the girls and Eternal’s kids cheered crazy loud as Eternal stood victorious.

Inferno and the boys jump into the ring, along with Kimba’s side, and many reporters and cameramen crowded the new champion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in a stunning upset, scoring the win by knockout… the new… heavyweight champion of the world… ETERNAL FLAMES!!!" shouted the host. The crowd cheered even louder for their new champion. Once Eternal shook Kimba's hand, he was given the championship belt as well as the mic.

"Excuse me… 'scuse me… I can't believe this has happened… I can't. I just want to say thanks to Kimba… for an amazing fight. I wanna thank… Inferno, Soarin and Flash for training me… but most of all, I wanna thank God. And for my children to see me rise up to victory… this is the greatest night… in the history of my life! I just wanna say one thing… to my family and friends in the audience… YO EVERYONE… I DID IT!!!" he shouted, raising the belt up high for all to see.

As he basked in the victory, Adagio, Aria and Sonata all mouthed out "I love you." And as for a couple of his kids, his two sons, Tenor and Soprano ran up into the ring, sneaking past all the big crowds and made their way towards their father. Eternal looked down and picked up his two precious boys, who shouted with joy.

"YEAH!!! MY DAD… THE CHAMPION!!!" Tenor shouted.

Soon the moment got more excited, when Eternal gave his boys the championship belt, which they gladly took and raise it up in the air together. Their siblings cheered for them and their father, along with their mothers. And even his brother, Heat Blitz clapped loudly for him.

Tonight was the greatest night, that the group of friends and family, has ever witnessed in their entire lives.
