Previous Chapter Next ChapterCanterlot streets
Kion was walking outside to get some fresh air, he saw the royal guards cleaning up the streets and putting the dead ponies in body bags, Kion knew that this was Zira's work but he didn't know why she would kill them, then, Jasiri came to Kion's side.
"You still concerned about the ponies you befriended?" Jasiri asked.
"That and I know that Zira's still out there." Kion answered "How many ponies is she gonna kill for her amusement?"
"I don't know, but I do know that she's really fond of you because of your achievements over her plans, but I'm still scared of what happens if you got captured by her, she's really unpredictable." Jasiri answered.
"I'll be fine, Jasiri." Kion said but Jasiri stopped him by grabbing his paw.
"No, you won't." Jasiri said "Listen to yourself, Kion, you're acting like a Spartan that wants to fight all the battles, you can't just throw yourself in danger and expect to win, you'll get yourself killed by many of these villains including Zira."
"I know how to handle myself against Zira, I've stopped her before and I can do it again." Kion said.
"Kion, you've took a lot of damage from Zira and those three goons to the point where you had to receive medical attention, Zira now has the ability to turn her limbs into bladed weapons that can easily kill everybody, what's gotten you so fixated on her?" Jasiri asked.
"Because I'm the only one who can stop Zira from killing more ponies, whatever the ponies of Equestria did they don't deserve to be slaughtered by her!" Kion answered "So I'm not giving up on hunting her!" he said stubbornly.
"Goddamn it, Kion, this is not one of your hunts, you already got injured from the fight and now you want to find Zira so you can fight her again, how could you throw your own life away?" Jasiri asked "You're the first lion that loved me as an individual and never judged me of being a hyena, I don't want to lose you." she said as her voice started breaking from having tears in her eyes, she hugged Kion and started crying on his neck.
"How did you know about the fight?" Kion asked.
"I saw it from one of the balconies and I saw you getting injured." Jasiri answered "Jesus, I couldn't stand seeing you getting yourself killed."
Kion wrapped his arms around Jasiri and he rested his right paw on the back of Jasiri's head, digging his fingers into her hair as she kept on crying, Kion then nuzzled her and kissed her on the head, then the girls, Spike, and Janja saw that Kion was comforting Jasiri.
"What happened?" Twilight asked.
"It's nothing." Kion answered.
"Well, we got tickets back to Ponyville, let's go." Twilight said as she and the rest of the group headed for the station.
"Something tells me it wasn't just nothing for her to hug y'all like that." Applejack said suspiciously.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kion asked.
"I mean she was crying all over y'all, meaning that whole "nothing" y'all said was just a lie to cover up your tracks." Applejack answered.
"What Jasiri and I were talking about is none of your business, so drop it." Kion said as he caught up to Jasiri.
"Yeah, it was his business." Rainbow Dash said.
"Shut up, Rainbow." Applejack retorted as the group got into the train.
Ponyville, two hours later
Kion and the rest of the group had arrived in Ponyville only to find out that it was in total chaos, they wonder what is going on until he saw a light lavender purple manned unicorn mare wearing a light blue shirt, blue jeans and black boots running towards him to which he caught her.
"Starlight, what's happening?" Twilight asked.
"Chrysalis is attacking Ponyville with the help of Tirek and a lioness with shapeshifting abilities!" the mare now known as Starlight answered.
"Zira!" Kion growled as he gave Starlight to the rest of the group and ran off.
"Kion, no!" Jasiri shouted as she tried to go after him.
"Dangnabit, Kion!" Applejack said.
"Spike, go to the castle, I need you to be safe." Twilight said as Spike flew of to the castle while the rest of the group went off to find Kion.
Center of Ponyville
Chrysalis was eating all of the love from all of the ponies whlie Tirek was destroying the buildings.
"Oh, I haven't eaten like this in ages!" Chrysalis said in satisfaction.
"So, when would the calvary come?" Tirek asked.
"With all of the mess that we're causing, those ponies will probably be coming anytime soon." Chrysalis answered.
"Sooner than you think!" an enraged adolescent male voice said, Chrysalis and Tirek turned around and saw Kion with his claws exposed.
"Ah, the little kitten, all along by himself." Chrysalis taunted.
"Where's Zira?!" Kion shouted.
"It seems you're wanting to fight her all over again but not this time, you'll have to deal with us." Chrysalis said as she shot a magic bolt at Kion but he dodged and close the distance between him and Chrysalis, he swiped his claws at Chrysalis but she dodged and grabbed his arm, then she slammed slammed him to the ground and tried to drain him of love but Kion counterattack by doing a leg sweep.
Tirek charged at Kion with a punch drawn but the adolescent lion cub slide out of the way and got up to do a double kick at Tirek's left side, knocking the centaur back, Chrysalis grabbed Kion by the neck but he broke free and swiped at Chrysalis with his claws however Chrysalis started beating him up by delivering punches and kicks at his wounded areas, causing Kion to feel pain and get incapacitate, Tirek then rammed at the incapacitate lion cub knocking him to the ground, Tirek then grabbed Kion and tried to suck out the magic from him but the centaur only found out that the lion cub didn't have any magic.
"No magic, dipshit." Kion said as he kicked Tirek in the face to break free but Chrysalis grabbed him with her telekinesis and started slamming him on the ground, then Jasiri charged in and did a running kick at Chrysalis, knocking the changeling back.
"Jasiri?" Kion said as he got up.
"Another subject to drain the love from." Chrysalis said.
"One: eww, two: piss off!" Jasiri said as she got into her stance.
Then the rest of the group had caught up to the fight against Chrysalis and Tirek as Twilight, Rarity, and Starlight charged up their magic and Pinkie got out her party cannon.
"Ah, the whole group is here, maybe we should start upping our game." Chrysalis said.
"We took you down before and we can do it again!" Rainbow Dash said.
"But not this time, we're now a lot more powerful." Tirek said.
"And once we take over Ponyville, then we'll take over all of the other empires and cities and all of Equestria." Chrysalis said as she laughed.
"Wanna bet, maggot mouth!" Janja said as he put on his fisticuffs and punched Chrysalis in the face.
"CHARGE!!!!" Pinkie shouted as everyone charged in to the fight.
The two villains fired magic beams at the group but only a few members got hit, Chrysalis started flying around and started firing magic bolts at Starlight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Jasiri but they kept on dodging with Starlight teleporting around, Tirek was firing magic bolts and using his brute strength to fight Twilight, Kion, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Janja, using the party cannon, Pinkie loaded it with fireworks and aimed the cannon at the centaur, then she fired the cannon and the fireworks hit their mark.
"Damn, Pinkie, it's not even new years yet!" Janja said.
"When you got the fireworks, Janjy, you use it against the bad guys!" Pinkie said as she put the cannon in her tail.
Tirek fired a magic beam at Pinkie Pie but Janja saw and tackle her out of the way, Kion scratched the centaur in the face and grabbed one of his legs to slam him to the ground, Twilight and Rainbow flew in as Twilight delivered a rising uppercut and Rainbow delivered a dive kick, Tirek grabbed Rainbow Dash and threw her to the ground, Twilight fired multiple magic bolts at the centaur but Tirek shot down the bolts down and shot Twilight out of the sky, before Twilight hit the ground, Kion caught her in his arms and he saw that her dress shirt was badly burned on the left side.
"You okay?" Kion asked.
"I am now." Twilight answered.
Then Pinkie and Janja charged in while Rainbow Dash recovered and continued on the fight, Applejack helped Twilight up and the lavender alicorn charged up her magic and shot Tirek in the face, Janja jump punched Tirek on one of his knees, incapacitating the centaur, Pinkie Pie loaded her party cannon with fireworks and shot Tirek in the face, knocking him back, Twilight rushed in and fired a magic beam at the centaur and Rainbow did a dive kick and delivered rapid punches at Tirek's face, then Applejack and Janja kicked Tirek in the back legs, causing the centaur to lose his balance, Tirek tried to punch Rainbow and Twilight but he missed as Kion slashed Tirek in the arm with his claws, then Tirek punched the ground, creating a shockwave that knocked everyone off their feet, he then punched Rainbow out of the sky and fired a magic beam at Twilight but the lavender alicorn put up a magic shield, then Rainbow recovered and got back up as Pinkie Pie loaded up her party cannon with fireworks and fired at the centaur, Twilight and Rainbow flew in as Twilight grabbed Tirek with her telekinesis and slammed him on the ground, Kion rushed in with his claws drawn and slashed Tirek in the abdomen, Rainbow dove in from the sky and kicked Tirek in the face, Janja climbed on one of the buildings and delivered a punch to Tirek's face with his fisticuffs, this repeated two times until Tirek was now out of the fight.
"Nice work, Tirek is down!" Twilight said as she and everyone who was fighting Tirek went to aid the fight against Chrysalis
Chrysalis fight, a few minutes earlier
Chrysalis was shooting magic bolts at Starlight, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Jasiri to which they were dodging running away from, the changeling was overwhelming them as she cornered Jasiri to a wall and change into a crocodile.
"(Whimper) Oh, fuck!" Jasiri said as Chrysalis tried to attack her by biting but Jasiri jumped out of the way, then Jasiri kicked Chrysalis back to which caused the changeling to change back to her normal form.
"Change this, bitch!" Jasiri shouted as she punched Chrysalis in the face.
Chrysalis pushed Jasiri off as the changeling changed into a bear and swiped at Jasiri but the hyena dodged the attack and did a leg sweep, Chrysalis changed into a giant python and tried wrapped around Jasiri and squeeze her to death but Jasiri used her bone crushing jaws to bite Chrysalis so hard that Chrysalis screamed in pain and let go, then Chrysalis changed into a manticore and swiped at the hyena, Jasiri tried to dodge but she got severely scratched and Chrysalis threw Jasiri to the middle of the street, then Chrysalis started to swipe at Jasiri, the hyena tried to dodge the attacks but Chrysalis managed to give Jasiri lacerations with her claws but Jasiri still kept on fighting as she delivered punches and kicks to Chrysalis' face, then Jasiri delivered a reverse roundhouse kick to Chrysalis, knocking her back, Jasiri grabbed her sides in pain as she got on one knee and couldn't get back up to fight, Chrysalis still in the form of a manticore proceeded to pounce on Jasiri but Starlight, Fluttershy, and Rarity came to Jasiri's aid and Starlight blast Chrysalis away with her magic.
"Jasiri, are you okay, darling?" Rarity asked.
"I don't think I can keep on fighting, this bug bitch is too strong." Jasiri answered.
"We'll take it from here." Starlight said as she charged up her magic.
Chrysalis got up and change into a bear, then she charged at the four girls but they dodged and Starlight started shooting magic bolts at Chrysalis, knocking the changeling back as she changed back to her original form, Chrysalis fired magic bolts at the girls but they dodged the attack and Starlight used her teleportation to close the distance between her and Chrysalis, Starlight tried to punch Chrysalis in the face but Chrysalis grabbed Starlight's arm and pushed her back to the rest of the girls.
"I'll make you pay for what you've done to my hive, Starlight Glimmer!" Chrysalis said as she charged up her horn to eliminate Starlight but a shockwave blew them off their feet.
The girls recovered and Starlight rushed in to deliver punches to Chrysalis' face, Chrysalis tried to counterattack by returning the punches but Starlight dodge by teleporting and then she fired magic bolts at Chrysalis, knocking her back, Starlight teleported to close the distance and started fistfighting Chrysalis, Starlight started doing a one-two fist combo and ended the combo with a roundhouse, Chrysalis recovered and did a running knee to Starlight's gut and did a right hook to her face, Chrysalis kicked Starlight to one of the buildings, breaking a window, Chrysalis charged in and tried to punch Starlight but the light lavender unicorn grabbed a shard of glass and used it against Chrysalis, Starlight stabbed the changeling in the leg with the glass shard and kicked her to the ground, Rarity grabbed Chrysalis with her telekinesis and slammed her ground knocking her out cold.
"Okay, Chrysalis is out of the fight, I wonder how's the rest of our friends are doing." Starlight said.
"We just took care of Tirek." Twilight said as everyone regrouped, Kion saw that Jasiri had wounds all over her body.

"Jasiri, what happened to you?" Kion asked.
"That bug bitch did a number at me." Jasiri answered.
Then three fillies got thrown to the ground, Kion recognise the three fillies as Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, then Kion saw her, the serial killer lioness that he wanted to fight.
"You want something done right, you got to do it yourself." Zira said "That was something a close friend said to me."
"Zira." Kion said.
"What have you done to those fillies?!" Rarity shouted.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning on killing them, my only priority is Kion." Zira said, Twilight and her friends blocked Zira's way and Twilight, Rarity, and Starlight charged up their magic.
"You're not killing him!!" Twilight shouted.
"Who said anything about killing him?" Zira said as she used her tendrils wrapped the necks of the ponies, strangling them in the process"I want him alive."
Starlight used her magic to cut the tendrils off of her and her friends' necks, Zira summoned her syn axe and charged in but Starlight grabbed her with her telekinesis.
"Huh, what gives?!" Zira said.
"Try to kill us?" Starlight said as she used a spell to slice Zira apart for almost strangling her and her friends, just as Zira's flesh parts were on the ground, Zira laughed evilly at Starlight's attempt to kill her.
"Not yet." Zira said as she pulled herself back together.
Starlight was shocked at this but she didn't give up as she teleported to punch Zira in the back of the head, but before Zira used her claws to scratch the light lavender unicorn, Starlight teleported out of the way and reappeared in a different spot, Rainbow Dash delivered a dive kick on Zira's back, knocking her down, Applejack used her rope to grabbed Zira by the neck and tried to pull her towards the rest of the group but Zira grabbed the rope with one arm and using her super strength, she pulled Applejack towards her and backpaw the cowpony in the face, then Zira cut the rope with her claws and kicked Applejack in the gut so hard that the cowpony rolled on the ground, Rainbow Dash rushed in and delivered rapid punches and a double kick at Zira, knocking the serial killer lioness back to the ground.
"Nopony tries to kill my friends!" Rainbow Dash said.
"I'm gonna slaughter you for that!!" Zira said in anger.
Then Kion rushed in and swiped his claws at Zira, the serial killer lioness dodged and blocked his attacks and grabbed his arms, then she traced her claw on Kion's leg wound which caused him to scream in pain, Twilight grabbed Zira with her telekinesis and used a spell to sliced Zira apart, giving Kion a chance to check on his wound, Zira pulled herself back together and summoned spiked tendrils to attack the group but Twilight used a magic shield to block the attacks, Starlight teleported behind Zira and shot her with a magic beam, Zira got annoyed by this and tried to swipe at Starlight with her claws but Starlight teleported out of the way to a different spot and shot Zira again, Starlight continued teleporting and shooting magic beams at Zira but then Zira got an idea as she closed her eyes and used her other senses the detect Starlight, just as Starlight teleported behind and tried to shoot Zira in the back, Zira turned around and scratched Starlight in the abdomen and grabbed her by the neck.
"Let's see how you teleport now." Zira said as she scratch Starlight's horn, Starlight screamed in pain as Zira threw her to the ground.
"Starlight!" Twilight shouted as she tried to rush in and help Starlight but Zira saw this and used her tendrils to grab Twilight but the lavender alicorn fired a magic fireball at Zira, hitting her in the process, Twilight kept on firing the magic fireballs at Zira until the serial killer lioness got away from Starlight.
"Are you okay?" Twilight asked Starlight.
"I'm fine." Starlight answered, then Twilight saw that Zira was still standing and she was smiling evily which pissed Twilight off.
"You want some more, bitch?!" Twilight shouted at Zira as the serial killer lioness put out the flames with a fast swipe from her tendrils.
Kion tried to attack Zira again by delivering rapid punches and kicks but Zira blocked and counterattack by delivering a low blow paw strike at his gut, knocking the wind out of Kion as Zira pushed him back with another paw strike to his chest, Twilight tried to fire a magic beam but Zira grabbed the lavender alicorn and Starlight with her tendrils, Rainbow Dash and Applejack rushed in but Zira grabbed them with her tendrils, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Jasiri went to help but they got caught in the tendrils as well, Pinkie Pie and Janja rushed but they also got caught, then Zira wrapped one of her tendrils on the horns of Twilight, Rarity, and Starlight to prevent them from using their magic, then she summoned her syn spears and gathered the group in front of the spears, she tightened the tendrils to keep the group from escaping as she looked at Kion who was still standing.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Kion asked
"A simple deal, Kion." Zira answered "You come with me and I'll spare the lives of your friends."
Everyone except Starlight and Janja was begging Kion to not go with Zira.
"Don't do it, Kion!" Twilight begged.
"We aren't worth it!" Fluttershy begged.
"So that's it, you're gonna let us die by getting impaled by a bunch of spears and leave Kion an emotional wreck?" Janja asked "Way to go, everyone." he said sarcastically.
"Your choice, Kion." Zira said.
Kion knew that if he doesn't go with Zira, his friends would get impaled, he knew about Zira and how dangerous she could be but he knew if he doesn't go with her, she'll kill his friends right in front of him, Kion close his eyes and tears started to pour at the thought of his friends dying, so hedropped to his knees and surrendered.
"Kion, no!" Twilight shouted.
"I don't got a damn choice, Twilight." Kion said.
"Hmmm, Kiongozi Askari Hasnuu, still the young boy who makes smart decisions." Zira said, then Kion was hit by a magic beam, knocking him out cold.
"KION!!!!" the group except Starlight and Janja exclaimed.
Zira was also shocked at what she saw but that shocked turned to anger as she turned around and saw Tirek who shot at the lion cub.
"You stupid fuck, I wanted him unharmed!" Zira said as she summoned more tendrils, formed spikes at the ends, and impaled Tirek with the tendrils "Give me a reason why I shouldn't paint the streets with your blood!" she said in anger.
"You got it all wrong, I wasn't planning to kill him, I was planning to knock him out in order to easily retrieve him!" Tirek explained.
"Did we win?" Chrysalis asked as she regained consciousness.
Zira walked towards the unconscious lion cub and started checking on him, she checked his pulse by placing two fingers on the side of his neck, when she felt a pulse, she exhaled in relief.
"He must've passed out from the pain." Zira said quietly, then she looked at Tirek "You survived, for now." she said as she dismissed her tendrils from Tirek and carried Kion over her shoulders.
"What are you doing, what about me consuming his love?" Chrysalis asked.
"Nobody touches him except me, disobey this order and you'll be slaughtered!" Zira strictly ordered.
Then Zira used her tendrils to throw the rest of the group to the ground so hard that they got incapacitate, Twilight's vision started to fade away as Zira walked away with Kion on her shoulders and the two villains followed the serial killer.
Two hours later
Twilight started to wake up from a motherly voice, when she opened her eyes, she saw Princess Celestia trying to help her, she also saw Luna and Cadence helping out the rest of the group.
"Twilight, are you okay?" Celestia asked.
"No, Kion's gone." Twilight answered with tears in her eyes.
"What happened to him?" Luna asked.
"Zira got the upper hand on us and she threatened our lives in order to make him go with her." Jasiri answered.
"Well maybe if Janja didn't say anything to convince Kion into going with that psychopath, he would've been here by now." Applejack said.
"And we would've be dead, stupid!" Janja said.
"Who in the hay are you callin' stupid, y'all dirty, nasty dog lookin' thing?" Applejack said, Jasiri went up to Applejack and slapped her so hard that the cowpony got knocked off her feet.
"What was that for?" Applejack asked.
"Calling us hyenas "dirty, nasty dogs" is considered racist." Jasiri answered.
"Where are we gonna find Kion?" Cadence asked.
"I don't know but we have to find him as soon as possible, who knows what Zira's doing to him." Twilight answered.
"Let's head to the castle of friendship, we'll discuss about this and used the cutie map in order to find him." Celestia said as she and the group including the cutie mark crusaders headed inside the castle of friendship.
