The Stars That Bind Us

by Crimson Rose97

Having no choice but to part ways with her newborn for a small time, Rachel is summoned by the Cutie Map alongside Tempest Shadow and Capper to venture forth a distant, vile disgusting pit of a village where Spike was held. As Sombra's ultimate plan comes to rise, can The Queen save the True Dragonlord in time to stop this war and their family reunite once more?

1. Prologue

There was something different in the air. Rachel had a strange sensation as she followed several of the captive fighters down the corridor to the arena. It only grew once she came inside that she saw all the captive predators all sitting down in the seats.

Capper and Tempest followed, the cat leaned close to the unicorn. "You getting this feeling we're walking into a trap?"

"Obviously," she muttered.

"Stay sharp guys," Rachel told them as she marched her way into the ring. Climbing up on the steps and hopping over the rope. The other two took their seats.

After a few moments, the speakers rang and squealed before the pig himself spoke.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this evening's event!" The crowd forcibly cheered. "I know you my dear were scheduled for two more fights but I decided to change the schedule and make tonight your final night."

Rachel glared at the viewing box before looking around. She noticed Spike wasn't among them. Even though they just had an explosive fight, not seeing him in the stands was nerve-wracking.

Where is he? She thought.

"When I took in the boy after Sombra paid me handsomely, I had no idea you'd be giving me so much trouble. So if you want him… BRING HIM IN! "

Doors from the opposite side of the arena burst open, the large pony/serpent hissed as they rapidly slither down, using their arms to propel forward. Something was wrapped inside of its long green body.

It slithered around the ring before flinging something out. Hitting the ring floor hard with a pained grunt.

Every fiber in Rachel's body turned ice cold when she saw who it was and was mortified.

Parts of his purple and green scales were a deep bruise color, his lip was split open, right eye blackened and swollen. His right horn looked like someone broke it off. Nothing like how he looked just four hours ago!

"Your final event, if you wish to leave with him, the two of you must fight. My best boy Spike against his little sweetheart! And yes, he is going to fight you. If you, Rachel, win, he's yours, but if he takes you down, you're mine!"
