Most of the Mane-iac's henchponies were enjoying their time at the bar. Two of them sitting in a booth in an intense debate. "Dove telling you, Shadowmane and Phetlock are the best power couple." She said to her friend.

"Pantene you don't know what you're talking about. It's clearly High Heel and Longface. They're perfect foils for each other."

"Those couples don't exist." A voice said. Both of them looked at the one sitting in a chair in the dark. Only his eyes were seen, one was blue with a green slit and the other red. "All four of them were simply working together in a very fragile alliance that barely made it to 2 days. Vesper Kiva and Marevelous are clearly a couple, Marevelous ran to his side when he was injured during the revolt."

"Pffh. Look at this guy. Thinking he's right." Pantene joked.

"Shut up. Shut up." Dove whispered afraid.

"You're telling me those idiots could be couples. When they could barely work as a team?" The being asked walking towards them, revealing himself as Alfreda in his Blade Wolf suit, many of his weapons sharpened and battle damaged.

"Look we know what we're talking about-" Pantene stopped as Alfreda got in her face. "Vesper Kiva, Mistress B*cking Marevelous."

"Y-yeah, it's not a competition." Dove agreed terrified. Alfreda looked at her unblinking until he moved the chainsaw from Pantene's neck and reattached it to his back walking away, allowing Pantene to let go of her breath. "What the f*ck was that?!" She asked terrified.

"That was Alfreda."

"You mean Annihilating Alfreda! He's a legend!"

"Yeah he doesn't even wanna lose the 2nd A."

"Well thank Faust I didn't mention the car accident." Pantene sighed in relief only to smack her hooves over her mouth as Alfreda stopped dead in his tracks.

"Sh*t." Pantene said.

"What was that?" Alfreda asked.

"N-nothing."

"No, that wasn't a car accident, Moe died in a car intentional... and when I find out who did it, I will make them suffer slowly and in sheer pain. But first. What's your rank?"

"40..."

"All henchponies present who's ranks are 35-102 you're now on guard duty at base. I want you paying for your drinks and all clean in one hour." Alfreda then stormed out of the room as some mares groaned and left the room and Dovee developed a smile on her face. "What're you so happy about?" Pantene asked.

"I'm getting time off."

"What?"

"I was ranked 42, I just checked my card, I've been moved up to 33. You just gave me free time." Pantene snorted before trotting off annoyed. "Don't hate on my luck." Dove gloated.

Mane-iac and Lather sighed as they relaxed from the massages they had received. "Everything has just been great since you helped Alfreda, again major thanks on that."

"I know right? Personal masseuses, gourmet food, a protective son for you and a protective boyfriend for me, my only concern is his thing with the mirrors. And you know..."

"So I'm thinking I should just wait a few more weeks before I really go to that point of the relationship with her." Alfreda said looking at Moe's skull on the chair. "What'd you know you never even had a girlfriend."

"Personally I believe you should just wait longer until we finally deal with this meta-pony villain rising that's sweeping Equestria." Logic replied from a mirror.

"Not yet Logic, we still don't know if she'll want to wait that long."

"Is no one gonna take my suggestion to make a city on that mountain range near that ponytown?" Ezekiel asked from his cracked mirror.

"Nobody cares Ezekiel!" Alfreda yelled as he walked out of the room.

"So what, I talk to mirrors like that sometimes, Doesn't effect me that much." Mane-iac said nonchalantly.

"That's because you've had time to adjust. Alfreda's actually just barely 2 years old, that could have some serious consequences on his personality for it to show signs of fracture with 3 already."

"Look, let's just let him work out his issues then maybe we can talk him down later." Mane-iac told Lather.

"Ok, but the moment he does anything irrational I'm interfering."

Alfreda walked back into the room, several plans in his claws as he dropped them to the ground. "All right guys, everyone gather together, it's time I unveil my greatest and final master plan: Proposition Phoenix. No I wasn't going to bring you back to life Moe, sorry if I made it sound like I was gonna, it was a cool name though."

"Kind of a dick move to tease him like that." Logic responded.

"Don't you start. I've figured out who set off the bomb planted on the mech. Well Logic thought it was a good idea to have one in every mech."

"Complain to me about that when someone takes one of our mechs, I'll be there to say I told you so after it blows up."

"Regardless, one of Sabrewolf's suck ups took it."

"Isn't she dead?"

"Again, in a coma, no idea when she's waking up though. Apparently the bitch found the detonator and set it off. For the past couple months, the PP have been killed in the line of duty, only Saddle, Marevelous and Comet are left. Yeah but I consider him a member too. Ok Moe just shut up now and let me talk. My sources tell me...it's none of you're business who my sources are, they tell me that they're gonna confront to last of them tonight. I will get closure and go out in a blaze of glory, but not before I say my goodbyes to all my friends."

Lather heard a knock on her door and opened it to find Alfreda there."Alfreda? What're you doing here?"

"Something's gonna go down tonight, I want to spend my last moments alone with my girl, and for us to take it to the next level."

"A-Are you sure?"

"I know I'm sure." Alfreda said giving Lather a kiss on the lips as he closed the door behind him as Lather pulled out. "Take it slow, and to be honest, this is my first time too."

"Well I have 2 hours, we can make it work." Alfreda assured her as they locked lips more falling onto the couch.

Alfreda looked at the villain warehouse in anticipation for vengeance and closure. "That was the most incredible feeling ever. Of all time. By the way, thanks for tagging in at that moment Logic."

'You're welcome, it would've been a major turn off for you to begin crying in the middle of it, it also got you prepared mentally.'

"Ok let's focus on the job at hand here please." Alfreda said before jumping down by the fence. "Moe. Do your thing."

A ghostly form appeared next to Alfreda before taking shape becoming a transparent Moe."What is thy bidding my master? What you tell me off when your virginity dies but now you bring me back to watch real you die?"

"Shut up, I'm in a good mood, please don't ruin it. I need you to go inside and tell me how many guys are in there."

"And what, you want me to posses one of them and take them out?"

"No just tell me how many guys are there you're the reason I've managed to take out so many guys."

"Really? Or did I just come to give you the confidence that you can be you own wolf though thick and thin?" Moe quired with an echo.

"You're real! I believe you to be real, you have to be."

"Whatever you say..." Moe said doubtingly.

Alfreda began to walk towards the warehouse as explosions went off as(just as Logic predicted) Vesper Kiva and Marevelous fought some goons on their own. Alfreda looked ahead of him seeing his nemesis in her normal form facing him. "Saddle Rager, at least we meet."

"Do I know you?"

"Do not play that game with me, you have kicked my ass for far too long, now the tables will turn." Saddle Rager merely walked up to him, her eyes glowing red simply saying "Boo." Right in his face recieving a punch to the face for her troubles earning a chuckle from her. "Nice hit, I was here to help Marevelous and Vesper but this is just as good."

"This is my first Hearth's Warming Eve, meeting the cast of Transformares, and when I lost my virginity earlier all rolled in one!" Alfreda said running for another punch when Saddle Rager easily dodged punching him back. "You didn't think I was gonna give you the advantage did you?" Saddle Rager asked her voice deepening.

"I was fucking praying you didn't! You gotta bring it bitch! BRING IT!!" Alfreda then roared as he charged at Saddle Rager who transformed and did the same as they engaged in battle.

Marevelous heard Saddle Rager's roar behind the wall she was up against, the Sabrewolf Henchmare in front of her preparing to kill her when Vesper bit into his neck draining his life force.

His eyes glowed brightly briefly before he sighed.

"These guys never fill me up." He looked toward Marevelous and his confidence wavered.

"Um....hey Frost..." he sounded shy seeing her again from several months ago.

"Hey..... Comet." Frost looked away from him in guilt.

"........I missed you."

"I missed you too." Frost replied before flipping over a henchstallion that Comet then beheaded.

"I'm sorry about what happened to Bolt. And the others basically."

"It's not your fault, we knew what would happen taking out Sabrewolf's lieutenants. There's nothing you could've done."

"I could've been there for you and Breezy." Comet then looked around for Saddle Rager as he snapped as henchemare's neck. "Did you lose her
too?"

"She's outside having her last fight with Alfreda, probably the same for him. Last time I saw him he looked like he wanted to go out fighting her, and winning at least."

Alfreda dodged a swing from Saddle Rager as he swung his tail around cutting her right in the side. Saddle Rager winced for a second before it healed turning around looking dead into Alfreda's eyes as he looked as into hers well, allowing them both to see that on the last day they stood on this rock, behind their eyes they both shared something they lost: the will to live.

'Logic, activate the bombs, I'm going to grant myself and her the peace we're craving.' Alfreda told Logic drawing his sword.

'Alfreda?' Logic asked actually stunned for the first time in his life.

'I'm just...so tired of this. I already won Game of Life. It's time for that final spin when it's just one space away from the final square. Ezekiel, it was an honor to fight with you, and it's been a gift to live with you buddy.'

'Bye Freda...' Ezekiel replied sadly.

'May our paths cross again someday guys, if not... until we meet again.' Alfreda replied before roaring charging towards Saddle Rager who grabbed a large piece of shrapnel and ran at him with it like a lance roaring back.

They both ran each other through with their blades, Saddle Rager feeling some of her heart being pierced by the blade while her left lung began to fill up with her blood. Alfreda managed to turn around and saw the shard had got him right in his heart. In fact his heart was right on the blade end sticking out of his back, some veins still connected to it.

Alfreda could feel Logic hesitantly activating the bombs as his life slowly drained as he stared at Saddle Rager who gave him a weak smile speaking some of her last words. "Good fight Alfreda..." She exhaled her last breath as she slumped as Alfreda shed a tear.

"She knew my name..." Alfreda said before her corpse tipped over and crushed him under her dead weight, his head and right arm sticking out of her side. "Faust damn it." He said before he heard the beep of the bombs beginning to sped up before everything seemed to slow down. Flames began to move towards him as Alfreda saw a white Wirewolf hand reaching down towards him. "It's time to rest Alfreda."

Alfreda sighed in relief reaching his hand out as the flames engulfed him and Saddle Rager's corpse.

Lather ran through past the fire trucks dosing the fires, tears streaming from her eyes as she searched through the wreckage in a panic. She heard some sparks and turned over what she found was Saddle Rager's Corpse, finding Alfreda's broken and damaged body. Lather was speechless, after everything they've been through, everyone they beat, he was finally gone. Lather simply sat their crying, cradling Alfreda's corpse soon joined by The Mane-iac as the rain fell.
