The Best There Is
Claws vs. Magic

Wolverine growled as he lunged forward, his arms extended outwards, his claws unsheathed, intending to attack the alicorn. Twilight yelped and erected a forcefield strong enough to barricade the X-Man from harming her, "I'm gonna ask ya one more time. The hell is yer problem with me, huh?"
"You..." hissed Twilight, creating a burst of aura that knocked Logan on his back in seconds. The mutant grunted in pain as his back hit the dirt surface after a surprisngly lengthy fall and rolled to his stomach, punching the ground in rage. "...Attacked us... Harmed one of my friends... I thought I hid you away to where you won't be hurting others, but it looked like I was wrong."
Wolverine spat, "Doll, I ain't seen ya before in my life. And I lived a long one. Just arrived in this town only a while ago. Those ponies that warned ya, didn't get the whole truth."
Twilight pointer a hoof at the mutant, "I've seen those claws before. The same ones that cut into Rainbow Dash. I'm only wondering how you seem less... savage since the last we met."
"I know I'm a monster, but I ain't stupid." Wolverine quipped. "Whatever the hell's goin' on here, I had no part in it. So ease up on the horns and wings. I really don't feel like fightin' a horse I'd see on a kid's refridgerator."
Twilight didn't say anything and instead opted to shoot Wolverine, a volt of magic hitting his chest, but it barely harmed him in anyway. "Okay, now yer askin' fer it!"
Dashing forward, Wolverine sheathed his claws and decided to fight the old-fashioned way. The princess moved underneath his fists and chose to land a hit directly to his abdomen, "So you owe up to being a monster. You can't fool me. Now let me ask you a question..." she flared her wings out and dove behind Logan, kicking the back of his leg, making him buckle down.
"What does the word Wolverine mean?" she wondered.
Logan growled, "How the fuck do you know what that is?"
Twilight said sternly, "It's the only word you said when we last encountered. Is that your name?"
Wolverine composed himself and spun around, intending to drive his claws into the alicorn in anger, "I don't wanna talk about. It's a name, but it's not my real one!" he snarled, "I'm gettin' real tired of these dumbass assumptions. Just makes ya look stupider every freakin' time someone sees me, and it ain't changed here."
The mutant uppercutted Twilight and held her hoof, pinning her down hard enough so that she wouldn't be able to budge. "Now listen... Cause I'm only gonna explain this to ya--" he paused, because the pony that was pinned beneath him suddenly vanished in a burst of lavender light. He instantly knew what it meant, "...Shit." he cursed under his breath, waiting for her to appear.
Then, something pushed him on his back. Logan instantly knew that it was the pony, 'Twilight...' he recalled, 'Seems I'm in some sorta freakish cartoon now that I think about it.' he grunted, feeling something hold him down. A purple light enveloped his vision for a moment, and he was unable to move. "The hell?"
"I'm gonna give you one more chance..." warned Twilight. "Turn yourself in. It doesn't have to escalate anymore."
The magic aura that held Wolverine faded and he was on his knees. "Doll, there's somethin' you should know about me." his hands curled into fists and his claws were revealed once more, "I don't back down. I gave ya a simple warnin', and you refused. I already told you, I played no part in killin' ponies!"
Wolverine swiped an arm upwards, intending to slash the princess' side while crouching. The alicorn felt a slight scratch and hissed in pain, feeling the stinging subside. "But it seems yer bein' the unreasonable one." he called out at last. The X-Man elbowed the alicorn's cheek and knocked her to the side a little, stunning her. This gave Logan enough time to lightly dig his claws into her fur.
"Non-lethal stab. Be lucky you have a damn good reason to attack me like that." Wolverine revealed, watching the mare cringe in pain. "Now, I'm gonna get answers here and now. Otherwise, this won't be pretty..." he warned one again, sticking his middle claw up. Twilight took it as some form of a rude gesture.
The alicorn shuddered and held the spot Wolverine lightly stabbed, noticing red on her lavender fur. Disgusted, she flew and kicked Logan in the stomach, making him exhale sharply as her hoof collided with his body. Logan growled, then brought an arm down, his fist smacking with Twilight's head, making her collapse for a second.
Twilight blinked hard, trying to stay conscious. "Nothing more needs... to be... said..." she mumbled.
Wolverine sneered then backed off, "Seems yer actin' irrational. I'll figure things out on my own." he said, leaving the alicorn. "Thanks fer nothing." he added in mutual disgust. But then something happened. In a moment's notice, he felt himself collapse and lose focus, his body leaning forward before hitting the grass.
The princess got her bearings and stood back up, the light on her horn fading away. She looked at Logan's unconscious body, "Enhanced sleep spell... Puts some of the biggest monsters to sleep. Including you, it seems." she used her magic to lift his body, deciding that she needed answers as to who or what he was.
Black.
Again, Wolverine was unable to see anything. He could still feel his costume on his body as he drifted back to consciousness and he was able to notice that the floor he was lying on felt like marble, possibly even something like glass. His senses were coming back and he raised a hand, feeling a migraine coming on.
"The fuck...?" Wolverine cursed under his breath, finally opening his eyes slowly.
The mutant saw a ceiling. Rather too close for his liking if he had to be honest. "What is this place?" he asked himself, rubbing his forehead lightly. "That damn pony..."
His body rolled and he pushed himself back up. He sat down and exhaled, then turned his head. He saw bars made of crystal blocking him. He sniffed, "What kinda freakin' place is this?" he wondered, his voice echoing despite how quiet it was.
Logan heard steps, someone, or rather somepony, walking in. Waiting, he calmed himself. There. It was the same alicorn he fought not too long ago, "So... Are you ready to talk?" asked Twilight, a hint of anger in her tone. "Or should I just turn you in?"
"Sunova bitch..." groaned Wolverine, shaking his head.
