Chapter 3: A Night to Remember

It had been maybe a week of training, and Luna seemed to have grown fond of me, it's not all the time she meets a creature with such ability and power, she had told me the strongest mortal was someone named Lord Tirek when he gained all the pony magic in Equestria, this Tirek guy sounded like someone I had fought before, so I told her the time I fought Merath, a fighting who had taken the power from those he defeated she scoffed and said he fought dirty and thus had no honor, I agreed.

"Tell me Minxy, how would like you be part of an upcoming night show for the Grand Galloping Gala? after that display last week, I asked my sister if we could bring back the arena and she said yes, would you like to compete?" Luna asked, smiling because she knew the answer very well.

"Ha! you think I'd back down? especially with an audience? Don't worry! I'll give it my all!", I said, giving a thumbs up and so training began, during my week stay at the castle I was given my own room and training quarters to use, and soon the night arrived.

Twilight and her friends had arrived to the castle, Starlight Glimmer was there along with Spike, and most surprisingly Sunset Shimmer, who had come to visit after Twilight had described Minxy to her, she wanted to see this person to see if she could connect it to anything from the Human World, the night went on, laughs were had and conversations filled the room, eventually Princess Celestia and Luna took stage and Celestia began with her announcement

"With a night as wonderful as this me and my sister have agreed that this very night will contain a very special show! we hope you enjoy it! please head to the door on the left side." Celestia told the crowd, smiling as they discussed what it could be, Twilight and her friends including Spike, Starlight and Sunset were escorted to VIP booths, and that's when they realize they'll be watching Minxy and Luna's guards fight for the final show of the night.

As I sit on a bench looking out the gate of my side of the arena I can't help but notice Twilight and her friends, mainly thanks to the fact that Rainbow Dash is jumping for joy at most likely the thought of seeing a good fight, I chuckle as I hear the DJ, DJ Pon3 aka Vinyl Scratch read out the lines me and Luna agreed on.

"Alright everypony! for this night! we will see the greatest warriors Equestria has ever seen duke it out with a new challenger! but first! let's see which Guard will be up first!" Vinyl Scratch looked down at a list of who will go one by one, "Alright! First up! Dark Matter!"

Just then Dark Matter zipped out the open gate and began to accept the cheers with open arms, I smiled as I stood up, ready to be introduced, Walking forward as the gate opened.

"And on this side of the arena! the newest warrior to join their ranks! Minxy!" Vinyl Scratch said and she began to play a remix of suspenseful music.

I walk out and open my arms as the crowd cheers once more, I smirk over at Dark Matter, "What's wrong!? did I take your popularity?" I lay my arms to my sides and put my hands on my hips, "Let's give them a show am I right?" I get into my battle stance.

Dark Matter get into his battle stance, ready to fight, saying "Yeah, Let's make sure they know who's stronger." He smirked and flared his wings up.

"Ready?" Vinyl Scratch said in suspense, "Set!" She slowed her words, "GO!" She yelled out and the crowd began to cheer.

I charged forward and was able to catch Dark Matter by surprise, knocking him back with a swift kick, "Letting your guard down isn't healthy ya know?" I charge again but that's when I'm hit in the side, he had used the dust as a distraction and got to the side of me, I yelp in shock more than pain, "Damn.. alright, good hit, good hit." I say as I charge back in, hitting him square in the muzzle, "HAH!".

This continued on a nice back and forth and it seemed we were even, that's when I turned Super Fox and blew everyone's minds! and that's also when Dark Matter knew he should tag out, Storm Blast, then walked out while Dark Matter returned to the stands.

I got back into my fighting stance, "So you're up next?" I smirked.

"Of course I am, you underestimating me?!" Storm Blast said, getting a little hot headed, "You know damn well I'm stronger than that form!"

"Oh really? prove it!" I say as I charge forward, we fight with all we got and in the end he pushes me into Super Fox 2, and the fight goes on, he can just barely keep up with me, it's an amazing fight and ends with me knocking him and away, he tags out and lets Star Shine have a turn.

"Alright, this is where your win streak ends!" She said proudly, getting ready to strike and charging forward, hitting me right in the chest.

"AH!" I yell out in pain, "Damn ok! let's go!!" I turn into Super Fox 3, Letting my aura light the arena in a nice Purple and Dark Blue, "You're almost to my full power!"

"Almost!? hah! I bet this is your full power!" Star Shine said charging forward once more but was surprising that she was counter and thrown to side like she was nothing.

"Like I said.. almost." I said smirking, and that pissed her off, we fought like there was money on the line or something, even though we'd all be paid very well, we clash a final time and after one decisive blow to her chest she fell and let Shadow Blaze have his turn, and so would begin the final round.

"Alright Minxy, You know how this goes, do it, GO ALL OUT!" Shadow Blaze shouted as he charged forward, planting a massive hit to my face.

I flew back and caught myself before I hit the wall, "Damn.." I stood back up and turns into my full power, Super Fox Okami, Yelling out as a Red and Blue Aura surround me, "THIS! This is what you were all waiting for! my full power!" and this I charged forward and while it seemed me and Shadow Blaze were even I was running low on energy, I needed to end this quickly so I kicked him up into the air and flew up and punched him back down to the ground, he was okay, only unconscious.

"You're all so strong.. Thank you.. all of you.." I passed out.

I wake up in my bed, "ugh.. damn.. that was a good fight.. haha.." just then Rainbow Dash came in with a bag and tray of food on a table with wheels, she set the tray on the table beside me and put the bag next to it, "So how did I do?" I asked her smiling.

"You did awesome! I've never seen a fight like that before!" Rainbow Dash said, smiling at Minxy softly, it had been an amazing fight, she never thought that within a week Minxy would evolve their power by that much, she couldn't help but be envious.

"That's good", I picked up the apple off the tray and took a bite, "So what's going on now?" I say tilting my head.

"well that depends on if you're gonna stay here.." Rainbow Dash said a tinge of sadness that she hoped wasn't noticeable.

"Something wrong?.." I said looking at Rainbow Dash with some concern.

"Minxy..", Rainbow Dash said but paused, "I think we should talk."
