Cherry grinned at her luck. "Sketch Pad?" She said, welcoming her friend from the hotel.

"In the flesh," He said with a toothy smile. Cherry rolled her eyes. "I was debating wether to say that, or 'that's my name don't wear it out.'" He said with a chuckle. Moon looked at him disbelievingly.

"Okay then..." She said, raising an eyebrow, "We'd best be going now." She glanced at Cherrycloud, who nodded. "And you can come too, if you want..." Sketch sat down and scratched his head, pretending to think real hard.

"I dunno..." He said.

Moon smiled and began to drag Cherry away. "Well we're sad to hear your decision, lets go now Cherry!"

Sketch then jumped up, flailing his hooves. "Alright alright! I'll come with." Moon Breeze sighed in defeat.

"Fine then, lets go." They began the slow trek, with Moon holding her bow up and loaded the entire time. When they got back, Blaze was there waiting for them, tapping his hoof impatiently.

"Well well, it's 'bout time you got here!" He growled, "And you bring back the traitor."

Moon Breeze sighed, "Look, I'm sorry. I'm back and I've brought all the supplies." She nodded toward the floating bags behind her. Blaze kept his eyes narrowed.

"And where's your partner in crime? Huh!?" He pressed, staring her in the eye.

Moon Breeze looked down and sniffled, "Dead..." Blaze backed up, seeing her reaction.

"Oh.." He then turned his gaze to Sketch Pad, "Well then, who're you?"

Cherry raised her hoof to prevent him from making a less-than-modest answer. "Sketch Pad, he's a friend from training." Blaze looked at him for a moment, before giving a satisfied nod.

"Fine then."

Cherry glanced around. "Has Terry gotten back yet?"

Blaze sighed, "No, he went into part we haven't seen yet." Cherry folded back her ears and looked across the stream. Terry tracks were being slowly covered by the snowfall. Then, almost as if on que, a cannon sounded. Cherry gulped.

"I'm going after him." She said, not anticipating an answer. She began running along the tracks, intent on finding where her friend had gone. It wasn't long before she found a sword splayed across the snow, blood dripping from its tip. The hoofprints became jumbled up, with blood beginning to cover it. Then, as she looked down, she found what she was looking for. "Terry..." She whispered, looking at the corpse. A spear was lodged in his throat, with blood splattered all over the handle.

Cherry began grinding her teeth. She drew out one of her knives, and pricked her ears. She narrowed her eyes, when she heard something.

"Yeah, I totally snuck up on him. He didn't stand a chance."

Cherry looked toward the source of the sound, hatred flowing through her veins. She flared out her wings, and began flying at full speed toward two shadows a short distance away. At some point, she began screaming, as she beat her wings harder and harder. By the time they noticed her, it was too late. She flung her knife into Tunas skull, sending blood everywhere She then leaped over him and grabbed the knife out of his head, and chucked it toward Coldblood, who leaped out of the way.

Tears were now streaming down her cheeks, as she landed hard on her hooves. She screamed again, and flung her hoof into his chest, causing him to recoil in surprise. though he quickly recovered and threw a knife he had in a bag on his back. Cherry easily dodged the knife, and aimed another punch to his cheek. He was getting a bit surprised now, as she landed a kick to his side. He grabbed another knife and threw it, hoping it would stop the raging mare. I didn't. She managed to grab the knife in midair, and stab it into his neck.

His eyes went blank, and she drew the knife out. the fifth cannon of the day sounded. Cherry dropped her weapon, and gazed at the far shape of her friend. She didn't care about the blood dotting her hooves, nor the tears dampening her face.

Right now all she wanted was revenge, revenge for the ponies who died in the games.

Revenge on the pony who invented the games.

On Nightmare Moon.
