A long time ago, when Equestria was plunged into eternal hell and rebellion was frequent, Princess Celestia devided up Equestria into 12 Districts, every year, the 12 Districts select 2 ponies at random, one stallion and one mare, to train to survive, and to compete in The Pony Games, a fight to the death, where if you lose, it meant death. In the end, when there is only 1 left, will that pony be let out of the arena, as victor of The Pony Games.
All of Equestria will be watching.
