[Hawk's POV]

"Stop right there! By order of Twilight Sparkle we comand you too come with us or you'll be forced too."

'What the Hell?' I turned to the direction of the voice to see two ponies in gold armor.

"Did you say Twilight Sparkle?"

"Affirmative now come with us." 'Damn Twilight messing up our evil schemes'

"If you don't mind can I talk to my companion for a moment?" They hesitated for a moment before nodding. Turning over to Trixie I saw her trembling in fear.

"Trixie can you teleport us out of here?" Much to my disappointment she shook her head. "I used up most of my energy during our magic show."

"We can't go with them because that would ruin our revenge." I whispered so the armor ponies won't hear our evil intentions with Twilight. Then an idea went in my mind, "I think only one of us is going to make it out of this situation."

Trixie's eyes went wide as I finished that sentence, "Hawk you don't know that, both of us can live!

"Trixie If the guards take us we die, If we outrun them we still die."

Her eyes started to fill up with tears as she knew I was right. "Why c-can't we go w-with them?"

"Because since my encounter with The Princess of the Night, they would have me executed by disrespecting the princess. They might hold you in a dungeon for your association with me." It was hard to say that right in front of her face but I knew it was true.

"No Hawk please let's run together instead." I shook my head as I already know what would be the consequence of that option. "Even if we do that will make them want us more."

"Trixie you go on ahead, it's me they want I'm sure of it and I can't risk you getting hurt. "If I'm going down I won't go down alone." I said giving a weak smile to the heart broken unicorn.

"Besides if I die you can still go on and get revenge on Twilight Sparkle for us." Trixie was still uncertain by my idea but she sighed in defeat.

"H-Hawk I j-just want to s-say Thank You for every-ything you done for me. It m-may have only been a couple of day's but i-it was amazing being G-Great and Powerful with you." Tears went down my face as this is the last encounter I'll have with her.

Giving one last hug to her I pulled away from the hug and went towards the two guards.
"I don't think we'll be joining you anytime soon." I said preparing for the battle.

"Very well prepare for battle strange creature." One of the armor ponies said pulling out a spear.
'Son of a Bitch has a spear!' I charged at the one to the left and tried to punch him in the face. That resulted in my fist getting crushed from the armor.

"Ahh Bloody Hell!" I yelled from the pain coming from my fist.

"Hawk!" I turned around to see Trixie still there with a pool of tears on the ground.

"Trixie you have to go now! Get the amulet and go get our revenge by getting back at her." Looking back at tbe guards I saw one of their spears coming straight towards me. I barely avoided it as it was thrown a few centimeters from my neck.

"Woah I thought you ponies don't kill." One of them let out a chuckle before answering. "We kill beasts and seeing how you're an unknown creature you qualify as a beast."

I picked up the spear and charged at one of them. Sliding on the ground in the last minute I managed to break his right hoof. Immediately he started to yelp in pain so I gave him an uppercut to shut him the hell up.

"One down One to go." Looking at the guard only to be answered by a smirk.

"Alright beast I'll give you one more chance to come with u- me or I'll kill you." Does he really think he's going to kill me? I thought fighting these two would be suicide, I guess I'll see Trixie after all.

"You think you can kill me? I just knocked out your friend with two hits." This made him more and angry because he knew I was right. "And here I thought fighting you two would be suicide! Trixie looks like I'm still going with you after all!" I yelled seeing how easy it is to knock a pony out.

"What's wrong? Your a guard right?" The guard nodded, " I bet your the lower rank out of the two of you. Let me guess... your a recruit!" While I was laughing my ass off I didn't notice the guard running directly at me.

He punched me in the chest with his hoof but surprisingly I didn't feel a thing. The guard looking as suprised as I am. "Well that's a suprise, guess you really are a recruit!!!" I continued laughing as the guard started punching me from all different angles.

"Yeah go get him Hawk!" Looking at the direction of the voice I spotted Trixie hiding in a bush.

"Trixie?! I said to go on without me, why the hell are you still here?" I said shoving the guard aside and made my way towards Trixie.

"I wanted to but I never got to say what I wanted to tell you, plus I heard you say that your coming back with me." I rolled my eyes as I spotted the bag of bits laying on the ground a few feet away from us.

I made my way over not noticing the guard picking up his spear. "Look Trixie you got to go back, I'll meet you there when I'm done beating the guard's..." Looking at the guard I saw him aiming the spear at Trixie. "Trixie look out!" I said running in front of her as the spear was thrown.

Jumping in front of her I was greeted by a sharp object piercing through my chest. I felt the spear going right through my ribs as I collapsed onto the ground.

[Trixie's POV]

"Hawk!" I cried out as he collapsed on the ground.

"Damn it! The Princess will fire me for disobeying orders! Come on general we have to go now!" I looked and saw the murderer guard lifting the unconscious one and they started to run away from the scene. Tears now draining from my eyes turning my attention back to Hawk.

"Hawk I'm sorry I didn't listen to you and now your dead because of me!" I started to cry loudly realizing that if I left him he wouldn't be dead right now.

"T-Trixie... I-It Isn't y-your f-fault."

"Yes it is! If I ran like you told me to you would've already kicked both their flanks and came back to me!"

"N-No d-didn't you he-ear t-them? T-They s-said they came h-here be-because of Twilight S-Sparkle." That memory came back to me realizing Hawk was right! They said they came here by order of Twilight Sparkle.

"T-Trixie go g-get the alicorn a-amulet and avenge m-my life by m-making Twilight pay." He said holding the bag of bits in his hands.

He then pulled me over for one final hug. He let go of the hug as we were looking at each other face to face. I knew I have to confess my feelings before he dies.

"Hawk... I just want to say I lov-" I was interupted by a pair of lips smashing into mine. My eyes went wide opened as I realized Hawk was kissing me! I started to moan in pleasure as I started to kiss back.

Hawk then released the kiss and said those words I wanted to hear, "I love you Trixie Lulamoon." After he finished those words his body felt empty until I realized he was dead.

I started to cry onto my dead friends shoulder realizing we could've lived a happy life together if it wasn't for her...

I layed on him for about half an hour before I stood back up wanting to fulfill his final request. 'I have to get the alicorn amulet and get revenge on Twilight.'

'For Hawk'

Picking up the bag of bits I started to head off to the forest. Looking back at Hawk I started to feel guilty just letting him rot.

'No, he must have a proper funeral.'

I put on the cloak knowing it was the only reminder I have of Hawk and headed off to Manehattan.

[Manehattan]

"Excuse me sir do you know where I can find some supplies for a funeral." I asked one of the townspony.

"I think thiers one north from here last time I checked." I gave a simple thank you then went off to the direction he pointed at. I wished I hadn't tooken the cloak because just breating for air I can smell Hawk's scent but at the same time I felt safe in it.

Looking at the store it read: Equestrian Funeral Supplies. Walking into the store I saw what I needed for Hawk's funeral. Looking over the different gravestones I read thier descriptions:

Granite: is a hard stone and requires skill to carve by hand.

Sandstone: is durable, yet soft enough to carve easily.

Slate: can have a pleasing texture but is slightly porous and prone to delamination.

Fieldstone: The earliest markers for graves were natural fieldstone, some unmarked and others decorated or incised using a metal awl.

Deciding on Granite I started to look for a coffin big enough for Hawk. I started to worry when I found out none of them were big enough so I went to ask an employee.

"Excuse me but do you have any coffins about six feet tall?"

"We do actually, don't know why though ponies aren't usually that big." I sigh in relief and went with him to look for a coffin. My eyes went wide looking at the coffin the employee showed me.

"It's perfect." I said to myself looking at the coffin. It was shiny black that reminded me of his hair. The inside looked pure white and seemed comfortable enough for my Hawk.

"I'll take it! How much do I owe you?"

"Don't worry since we had this for 3 years with no purchase its on the house."

I squealed in delight as I hugged him as hard as I could, "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

"Um Ma'am can you let go of me so I can breath?" Letting go I was still jumping in excitement as I got the perfect coffin for Hawk. 'Now I just need a shovel and I'll be on my way!'

I decided on a simple shovel so I can still afford the alicorn amulet and fulfill Hawk's final request. Going to the cashier I told him the purchases I want to order.

"Alright ma'am that'll be 54 bits please." I pulled out the bits and levitated my puchases out the door.

'Wait I need a bouquet for Hawk's burial ground.'

Going back to the forest I put my purchases down not wanting to carry it with me and headed back to Manehattan.

Spending another 10 minutes looking around I spotted the perfect bouquet of roses and trotted over to the store stil sniffing my cloak.

"Sorry ma'am were closed for the day." My heart sank thinking that the creatures of the Everfree would eat his body if I waited any longer.

"No please I need that bouquet of roses for a funeral." The mare seemed to understand my situation and headed back to the counter as I picked up the roses and made my way over to her.

"That'll be 5 bits ma'am." Handing over the bits I thanked the mare for letting me buy the bouquet and left for the Everfree.

[Everfree Forest]

I let out a sad sigh as I was digging a hole for Hawk. 'I can't believe he's dead... I don't know how I'll go on from now on.' When I was done digging I felt a pool of tears below me.

'Focus Trixie he must get his rest forever...' Wiping a tear from my eye I calmed down and used my magic to levitate Hawk's body and gently put him in his coffin. His arms wouldn't fit so I put them on his stomach.

'He looks so peaceful.' Seeing how I was the only pony who knew him the funeral's audience would only include me.

Levitating the heavy coffin as hard as I could I managed to put him in his burial ground. I decided to look at his face one final time before I closed the coffin and started to bury him. When I was finished filling up the hole I noticed an even larger pool of tears than before.

'Stay strong Trixie... Hawk would want you to.'

I brought over the gravestone and pinned it to the ground. Grabbing the marker with my mouth that the cashier gave me and I started to write:

'Here lies a Great and Powerful Friend and his name is Hawk
He put on both his first and final show, one I'll never forget even If I get hit with a rock
Sacrificing himself to keep me alive
He knew he had to leave it all behind
Known as a monster to many but to me he's the greatest being to ever live
Only I wished he had survived so he can continue to give
So we can be Great and Powerful together
For as long as I can remember
I hate to leave you behind, but the feeling drives me insane
But I know we'll meet each other again one day'

'Cause of Death: Guards sent By Twilight Sparkle'

After I was done writing I sat there crying for a good five minutes before standing back up and laying the bouquet of roses so it will lean against the gravestone. Remembering that I still have my hat and cape I pulled them out and set them down with the roses as a reminder that it was the old me since I met Hawk.

"I love you too Hawk." Were my final words as I left his gravestone and headed to get the Alicorn Amulet.

'Rest In Peace Hawk'
