Chapter 16

Heavy awoke in his bed and the first thing he learned was that he was alone in bed, this confused him a bit due to him remembering that Twilight fell asleep in his arms, he then smell something good and that's when it hit him, breakfast. Heavy got out of bed and went for the shower and cleaned up quick before getting dressed and going down stairs, as he made it down stairs, he followed the wonderful scent of eggs and toast. He finally found the kitchen and found Twilight eating breakfast with all the girls, everyone except for Sunset Shimmer."Am i invited to this little breakfast?"Heavy questioned.

The girls all turned to see Heavy at the door way to the kitchen and Twilight finished her food quickly to answer."Sorry about that Heavy, I tried to wake you up, but you were just such a heavy sleeper and i couldn't even get you to stir,"Twilight explained."There's still plenty to eat out here if you want."

Heavy smiled and walked over and picked up a plate and went to get food, he noticed the girls not even looking at him as they ate and a thought hit him."I'm...sorry about the scare last night, I...just kind of lost it there,"Heavy apologized as he slowly picked up his eggs and toast.

"Apologie accepted,"the girls suddenly announced happily as they finally all smiled at him and ate more happily. They all then ate together peacefully and talked some more about their days in school, the spring formal was the top discussion of today and the girls were all a buzz about it, but Heavy had something else on his mind as he looked around and could not find Sunset anywhere.

"Hey, where's Sunset at, I would have thought she would be here eating with us?"Heavy asked, only making Twilight smirk as she knew the answer.

"She's outside...practicing her moves,"Twilight answered.

"Practicing her moves? for what exactly?"Heavy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know, maybe when we're done here we can go and found out,"Twilight replied.

"Very well then...I'm done,"Heavy smartly said as he revealed that he already finished his breakfast and levitated his plate to the sink, he then got up and began to walk to the door before being stopped by Twilight right at the door.

"Hey Heavy, you heard the whole thing about the spring formal right?"Twilight questioned.

"Yeah, what's your point?"Heavy questioned back.

"Well, I was thinking that we may be here awhile, we might as well make the best of it, maybe we should go...you know for fun."Twilight answered.

"Well...we have to see what happens,"Heavy said as he slipped on his boots and made for the door. The minute Heavy stepped out the door, he was suddenly met by the boot of Sunset Shimmer coming right at him, in the nick of time, he manage to grab the boot and looked to see Sunset Shimmer right next to him as he held her foot with one hand. He smirked as he knew something was up and now he knew what it was, he then threw Sunset away like a rag doll, but she manage to regain balance and land on her feet as she smiled back at him.

"Hey Heavy, how about you and me have a little match, just like old times,"Sunset asked as she got pumped up, Heavy just chuckled as he began to walk away.

"Sorry Sunset, I've got better things to do then play games with you, besides you could never take me before, what makes you think you can take me now?"He mocked with his arms crossed.

"Because I'm different now, I have grown stronger, I have learn the meaning of friendship and have remembered my defeat by you so long ago, now I know i can take you this time, you know why?"Sunset said in a determined tone.

"Why?"Heavy questioned with a raised eye brow.

"Because I'm not afraid of you any more, and I want to prove myself to you,"Sunset answered. Heavy suddenly gave off a surprised look and looked down on the ground in confusion, she had always been afraid of him, though she would never admit it, but now she no longer feared him? Heavy chuckled, but actually felt a bit happy inside to hear her say that and finally his fire ignited.

"Very well then Sunset, I'll fight you, but don't think for a second that I will go easy on you,"Heavy warned.

"That's fine, I'm ready now,"Sunset said with a confident smile.

"Oh this is so exciting, I'm going to get the girls, their going to want to see this,"Twilight said excitedly as she went back inside to get the girls, while Sunset and Heavy went to the back yard to prepare for battle.

A few minute later, Sunset and Heavy were in the back yard that stretched as wide and far as a football field, Heavy stood on one end of the field with his arms crossed in an unamused mood, while Sunset stood on the other end in a serious fighting stance. Twilight stood in the center as the referee while the girls sat at the back porch of the house, acting as the audience, Twilight looked at Heavy first, then she turned to Sunset who didn't break her focus from Heavy, finally she turned her attention to everyone."Alright then, I wanna see a clean but good match here, so without further a do...Begin!"Twilight shouted as she took flight to get clear of the hot zone.

Sunset took a deep breath and slowly made her hands glow with magic, she began charging them up while looking at Heavy who stood there with his arms crossed and not even looking at her, Sunset growled at the lack of attention and made her move. She charged in and went for a right hook, as she swing, Heavy only smirked and dodge effortlessly making Sunset strike nothing but air, after a few more failed attempts at a direct punch, Sunset suddenly jumped in the air and brought her fist down, Heavy jumped back to dodge and while he avoided her, Sunset surprised him as he watched her bury her fist into the ground and smash a huge crater all around her were she struck, Heavy landed and actually gave her a half impressed look as he looked at the crater she made."That attack she made was made up of pure magic concentrated into her fists...It may not be a good idea to get hit by one of those punches."Heavy said to himself as he stared Sunset down and confidently smiled."Well? is that all Sunset?"

"I'm just getting started Heavy!"Sunset yelled as she charged again. She began to swing wildly again and punching holes into the ground everywhere she struck, but Heavy dodged easily and didn't even bother to fight back, suddenly Sunset manage to sweep his legs and make him loose balance, but he manage to take flight to regain balance. He then saw a fist coming and realized he couldn't dodge this one, but he stayed cool and manage to grab the fist before it could touch him, he then sent a jolt of electricity into her body making her scream in pain, he then released her and punched her in the stomach and sent her flying twenty yards back. She landed hard, but manage to get up quickly and stare him down, she then chose to do something different, she charged her fist up and punched the ground, sending a shock wave and a mass of uprising rocks towards Heavy, he took flight to dodge and was surprised to see Sunset coming down on him from above, he quickly threw up a shield and blocked her incoming punch. He then blasted her away and she slammed hard on the ground and trembled in pain as Heavy landed in front of her and gave her a disappointed look as he crossed his arms once again.

"Wow Sunset, not bad, you almost hit me that time, but your still too weak and I can still sense fear and hesitation in you,"Heavy said.

"I-I don't know what your talking about,"Sunset denied as she got up.

"You don't? I'm looking at you now and I can see that you are trembling in fear,"Heavy pointed out as he watched her shake like a leaf.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not!"Sunset yelled out in denial.

"Well then, If your not afraid, then let's see if you can dodge me now,"Heavy warned as he reared back a fist and struck Sunset in the jaw sending her stumbling back, she rubbed her mouth as a line of blood ran down the side of her mouth, she spit and prepare as Heavy charged at her. She blocked his first punch, but covered her face fearfully as he began pummeling her body with vicious kicks and punches to her gut, she began to drop as she couldn't take the beating anymore, she finally went into a ball and endured as he bashed away at her, finally Twilight called out desperately.

"Heavy stop! your hurting her!"Twilight called out in fear and finally Heavy stopped his assault and looked down on Sunset who was still curled up in a ball and shaking heavily, Heavy stayed quiet and was about to walk away when Sunset gripped him by his jacket and struggled to get up using him for support, much to his surprise.

(Kimimaro's theme, Naruto)

As Sunset got to her feet still holding onto Heavy, she lifted her head up slowly to reveal tears streaming down her cheeks."I don't want to be afraid of you, but I just couldn't help it at times, I always felt weak when ever I was around you and you humbling me all the time didn't help either,"Sunset explained."What I really wanted to do was impress you, so sometimes I would fight my fear so I could be strong like you."

"Why would you want to impress me? why not worry about yourself?"Heavy asked now a little confused.

"Because I really like you Heavy, I think I always have and...I want to do everything I can to make you like me...even if it means fighting you till i die."Sunset answered as she let go of Heavy, stood tall and removed her jacket.

"So that's it, you like me so much you want to die proving it?"Heavy questioned in shock.

Sunset dried her eyes and got back into a fighting stance and began to glow green, her hands and eyes glowed bright green as she gritted her teeth.

(End of theme)

"Yes, and I'm still not finished fighting yet Heavy, I will prove myself to you,"She said with determination.

"Very well then Sunset, let's see what you got,"Heavy said as he removed his jacket and got into his own fighting stance."Come Sunset, I can see you have more to show me, so let's get this show on the road!"

Heavy and Sunset both stared each other down as the girls just stood there with great amazement at the battle. Finally the two combatants charged at each other and their fist were the first things to collide, when their fists matched each other they sent a shock wave across the yard that shook the very ground they stood on, Sunset saw an opening and threw another magical fist, but Heavy threw up his shield in time to block, but Sunset just unmercifully pounded away at his shield with super fast punches until she began to crack the shield, Heavy saw the situation and quickly teleported behind her and kicked her in the back making her face plant on the ground. Heavy quickly went for an attack, but Sunset manage to get up and quickly upper cutting Heavy away from her, he felt blood dripping from his lip and smiled, knowing that it had been some time since any pony or any one had drawn blood on him. He wiped the blood away and attacked by using one of his old tricks, he lifted his foot up and stomped down on the ground causing a large crack to form and grow as it trailed towards Sunset, Sunset dodge the incoming crack, but failed to move before getting a scrape of the fiery blue flames that shot from it, she now had a badly burned arm, but still manage to hold her ground.

"Gee Heavy, you sure came up with some crazy spells since I was gone,"Sunset commented.

"All it takes is a creative mind, so how about you, have you got something new to show me?"Heavy teased.

Sunset smiled as she suddenly glowed brighter and in a flash speeded toward Heavy and struck him in the face sending him into the air and hugging him tight as she put him into pile driver move, she then spun Heavy and herself as they came down and finally smashed into the ground in a massive explosion of dust, When the dust settled, Sunset jumped out of the massive crater and panted heavily in exhaustion, but was proud that she manage to fight off Heavy, the girls were rushed to her and cheer for her as they had believed that she won the battle, but Twilight was not fooled and she stopped them. Finally Sunset turned around and saw Heavy casually get out of the crater with barley a mark and only bearing a tattered shirt, he dust himself off and smiled at her.

"Well Sunset, I've got to say, your definitely stronger now than you were before, you understand that you can not fear and you definitely shook your fear of me, I...am happy to see that, but this is where it ends,"Heavy said as he glowed ice blue and surrounded himself in a magical aura. Sunset frowned as she to had glowed as bright as she could and poured a massive amount of magic into her right fist, they took one last glimpse of each other before charging at each other, while Heavy attacked in his comet charge form, Sunset only ran as fast as she could in her condition while filling her hand with as much magic as she could muster. As Twilight watched this, she then recognized this setting they were in, It was just like the final battle she had with Heavy when they were young, and its because of that very realization that she knew how it was going to end. Finally the two opponents collided and in a massive wave of white magic, no one saw as Heavy delivered a finishing blow into sunset's gut, while Sunset manage to strike a diagonal cut down Heavy's right eye and even crossing over where Twilight had left her mark on him. While Heavy landed on his feet and gripped his right eye in pain as it bled, Sunset crashed to the ground and laid unconscious and motionless, Heavy slowly walked over to the out cold Sunset Shimmer and kneeled down and picked her up in his arms and stared solemnly at her as blood from hi eye dropped onto her face."Sunset, I...wish this didn't need to happen, I...I liked you too, but once again I let my bad attitude and twisted life get the best of me, I'm sorry and...maybe we can make it work, It could be you, me and Twilight together, we just have to see what happens."

Heavy stood up and carried Sunset over to Twilight and the girls who looked shocked and scared, not just for Sunset, but for Heavy as well as they looked at the new wound upon his eye."Heavy, are you okay,I mean...your eye,"Twilight exclaimed worriedly as she magically made a rag appear and placed it on Heavy's right eye.

Heavy just moved his head from the rag and smiled."I'll be fine Twilight, let's just get her inside so we can both heal her,"Heavy said with a smile, sending the signal that he may have very well have fallen for Sunset. Twilight nodded as he carried Sunset inside with Twilight right behind him and the girls not too far behind.
