April 1st, 1987.
Loo and Rainbow walked in awe through the newly constructed museum, Pictures of Rainbow dashes victories and defeats, Hundreds of articles (Mostly Ones Rainbow had to donate herself) lay preserved in glass cases for hundreds of future generations to see.
“Can’t believe after all these years you're finally in a museum.” Loo said in wonder.
“You should've been there when they called me and said they were building one to honour Spitfire, i hadn’t seen her in years, then they just call me up to say that she just kicked it. Didn’t know i would get my own WING though, but looking back, do i deserve anything else?” Rainbow responded with a smirk.
“No, you don’t, anyway this thing makes “the Champion of Equestria” Look like nothing” Loo mused with a smile.
“Hey, don’t worry, they're gonna build a museum for you to one day” Rainbow retorted.
“Yea, maybe when i’m old just like you”
May 22nd, 2009.
“Who was she?” The 16 year old pegasus Colt at Loo’s side asked.
“She was my mentor, my friend,...and at one point, my family” Loo answered Looking up at the faded framed poster titled “Wonderbolt boxing champion, 1947, Rainbow Dash!”
“How did you two know each other?” The Colt asked.
“She found me in a place similar to where i found you, I guess its Just history repeating itself again” Loo answered.
“What do you mean?” The Colt asked.
Loo turned her head to the newly added section of the museum Titled “Equestrias Champion, and Protector.”
“It means i have a proposition to offer, after seeing how you handled those Bullies in that orphanage, i was reminded of something that happened to me a long long time ago.”
Loo started to walk towards the new section to the museum.
the Colt followed, Then broke down on one knee and broke into pained sobbing.
Loo turned then (With some difficulty with her age) got on one knee and confronted the Colt by putting her hands on her Shoulders.
“Listen, We’ll find you sister Poundcake, the foster system can be pretty tricky but first, We have to begin training” Loo then asked the Colt to help her up, then they both walked into the new wing to the museum.
Poundcake awed at the enormous glass case containing a gigantic belt with six rainbow colored stones embedded in the middle.
“That, is where my story just began.” Loo said with a hint of pride.
Feb 13 2014.
Loo groaned with pain, why did all these doctors put in all these iv’s in if the drugs didn’t do anything?
It didn’t matter, Loo time had been coming for a long time. Loo didn’t care, earlier last year when the doctors forbade her to travel due to her age (And the fact a boxer's life isnt the kindest to ones body) meaning she could never coach Poundcake anymore. After that it was Long boring days in the nursing home while her condition only got worse, Loo craved action she was a fighter, that last thing she wanted to do was lay in bed all day, and if death was the only way to avoid that, then she was ready.
Loo looked up at the T.V hanging from the ceiling, Poundcake had just defended his championship title for the 3rd time he was standing in front of the camera holding the championship belt, then a orange maned unicorn mare about the same age as Poundcake came into the picture and gave him a loving peck on the cheek and followed it up with a hug.
“That kid we’ll do just fine without me, after all….” Loo turned her head to the mass of clothes laying on the nightstand to the left of her bed, with great difficulty against the i.vs, wires and her own old age, Loo reached in to the mass.
Loo felt around and pulled out a old faded polaroid picture.
“He was trained by the best”
The Polaroid showed Rainbow and Loo together sitting on a bench, The picture so taken shortly after Loo had Won the Title belt. Rainbow had bought the camera just for the occasion and had taken the picture in the park not far from Rainbows Home.
“Its been awhile” Loo said to the Photograph.
The the Door to Loo’s room opened, Loo’s cardiograph reached critical levels For a second as the Princess of the Night and the Princess of the Day both walked into Loo’s room.
After Loo’s BPM reached comfortable levels, She was the first to break the silence.
“Aaaa, Hello you majesty, It”s certainly been awhile.”
“Yes it has Little Loo” Celestia responded with a smile.
“Little Loo? thats a name I haven’t heard in a long time”
“Its a name none of have heard in a long time, Which is why we sought you out, we have a invitation for you Loo.” Luna said.
“An invitation to what?” Loo asked.
“It is called, “Super Smash Sisters” a competition which the greatest of fighters from different dimensions and worlds meet for a bit of, Healthy competition.” Celestia explained.
“I haven't fought for a long time” Loo said somberly “I Don’t think i have it in me anymore.”
“We would be able to restore your youth, if you choose to enter” Celestia responded.
“What do you mean?” Loo asked.
“Since it takes place across dimensional planes we must wait for champions to *ahem no longer existing in the mortal world.” Luna explained.
“So what? i would have to be dead?” Loo asked.
“Think of it as an alternate afterlife” Celestia explained.
Loo thought about it, then smiled, Loo lifted the picture of her and Rainbow Dash.
“I’ve been out of the game for so long, I'm gonna need a coach, to you know, work out the kinks” Loo reasoned.
“Oh, don’t worry Loo, we gave her the same invitation a long time ago.” Celestia Said.
“And what did she say?” Loo asked.
Both princesses smiled.
Celestia Opened the door to reveal a young mare with cyan fur and a rainbow mane dressed in a ancient wonderbolts outfit shadow boxing in the hall, she turned and noticed the door had been opened, She smiled and threw a green bag on top of Loo.
Loo opened the duffle bag and pulled out a pair of cyan shorts and a pair of green gloves, and at the bottom of the bag was a pink track suit.
“I know its been a while kid but we got to get ready! Smash ain't no joke! Rainbow said enthusiastically
Loo smiled,then Her Arms went slack, her head rested against the back of her bed, her cardiograph flatlined and The Photo of her and Rainbow Dash landed Softly on the Linoleum floor of her room.
And Loo lied there as a team of Nurses and Doctors ran it to revive her, still with soft smile on her face.
"Remember Loo," said Rainbow Dash, looking concerned yet happy in the awesome atmosphere of a flat, floating platform that appears to be traveling through time and space (What's that blue box we just passed?) that is Final Destination, "Even though your technically dead, this stuff will still hurt. By the looks of it your contestant is Meta Steed. Heres his file. And remember, find their weakness and strike."
I took the file in her hooves and read it over. It detailed many of Meta Steed's moves, with their frightening power and agility. I kept on trying to find a weakness, but everywhere she looked was just powerful move after powerful move.
"Shouldn't they be giving me an easy one?" I thought out loud. However, I was quickly interrupted by Sunbutt Princess Celestia coming towards us, with a steel knight wearing a mask and a cape that seemed to unfold into... Wings? Um... Okay. Er... It... Was wearing a name tag that says Meta Steed on it.
"Now," said Celestia in a elegant yet declarative voice, looking at Meta Steed and I carefully, "we are to prove who the best fighter is, but that does not mean fight to the death. A point can only be scored when an opponent is knocked out of the ring. No beating each other to death... Again."
I put my gloves up and waited for something to happen. Eventually a giant 3 popped up.
Then 2...
Then 1...
[size=10em]"GO!!![/size]
Yelled a Disembodied voice, signaling the start.
I ran forward. Almost immediately, Meta Steed opens his cape/wings and does a loop.
Afterwards he rushes at me sword first. I jump over him with ease and start landing jabs on him. After a couple of jabs, Meta Steed spins into a tornado, doing massive damage and stopping my barrage. He sprinted towards me and I hit him with a hard uppercut, further damaging him and sending him in the air. He came back down and started relentlessly slashing at me. I started getting angrier and angrier, until I could've sworn that I had heard a familiar dinging voice in my head.
I unleashed a powerful uppercut with a thundering crack when it made contact. Meta Steed didn't stand a chance. I saw a giant red and blue explosion from where he flew out of sight.
After a second or two, I see Meta Steed flashing between being bright and normal on a floating platform.
He comes down, still blinking, and charges me.
I throw out a uppercut at the last second, but it doesn't do anything on contact!
"What!?!?" I yell in surprise before I get hit by another tornado.
I look behind me and see a small red ball with a big S on it.
I shrug and throw it at Meta Steed.
The second it makes contact, it explodes in a slowly expanding circle of fire.
By now, Meta Steed has taken massive damage. I charge towards him and prepare for an overhead arc, but Meta Steed dodges it and goes towards a circle thats glowing rainbow colors. He hits it a couple times, and the he starts glowing rainbow and the lights dim.
Meta Steed charges again, and when I go for the jab, he slides around me and then covers me with his cape.
Then everything goes dark and silent for what seemed like forever.
Out of nowhere, Meta Knight lands a devastating slash on me, sending me flying off the stage.
And then I died.
... And then I came back on the platform Meta Steed was on earlier. What did you expect?
I go back on the ground and jump up to jab the now flying Meta Knight, and then...
"You ain't no air fighter, Loo!" Yells Rainbow Dash from the sidelines.
Too late, I realize shes right. My punch misses its mark completely and sends me flying off the edge.
I try and uppercut my way back up, but I fail to get high enough to grab back on to the sweet, sweet ground.
I die again.
"Get your head in the game, Loo!" Yells Rainbow Dash.
I breathe in deeply. I breathe out deeply.
My body is ready.
I immediately run towards Meta Steed. He takes off again, in hopes of baiting me.
However, I wait patiently for him to run out of flaps and fall.
After a couple of flaps, he does a somersault and then falls out of control.
I hit him with a hard uppercut, and then proceed be beat the crap out of him.
Eventually he gets back in control, but I was able to jump away before he counters.
"5!" Yells the voice.
Meta Steed Charges once more.
"4!" Yells the voice.
Meta Steed Approaches.
"3!"
Closer...
"2!"
Closer...
"1!"
I jump out of the way at the last second.
Suddenly, Meta Steed and I teleport to opposite ends of the stage.
SUDDEN DEATH!!!
Yells the voice.
Suddenly, Meta Steed and I take MASSIVE damage. He runs towards me with his sword ready.
I start dodging wildly, hoping not to become KFC at Meta Steeds hoof.
We hear an explosion and we both stop to look up.
Then we both realized its raining bombs.
The fearless boxer and the merciless warrior look at each other.
Then they run in circles screaming as bombs fall all around them.
I shake my head and focus.
...Or at least I tried to, but the bombs are mean.
I run towards Meta Steed, leap/dive forward towards Meta Steed and smash into his face.
Fist first.
He goes flying off screen, followed by a satisfying explosion.
SUCCESS!!!
Yells the voice, bringing a grin to my face.
I (somehow) teleport to a white room and punch the air as my stats appear behind me, while Meta Steed does the same except he doesn't punch the air and acts really disappointed in himself.
Celestia and Luna come down in all their regality and grace.
"You have done very well," says Celestia, "You shall move on to the next round in the tourney." She informs me.
"Wait..." I say, confused. "Theres more!?!? I thought that was it!" Immediately, I was sorry for yelling at the princesses.
"Yes, there is more, Little Loo. The winner of it all gets crowned as..." Celestia looks at Luna and coughs.
THE BEST FIGHTER OF ALL TIME!!!
Yells Luna in the royal canterlot voice.
"Cheer up, kid," says Rainbow, who was behind Luna, "You've got this in the bag!"
"I hope so..." I say, kind of dissapointed that there is more.
"Good luck!" says Celestia, as she and Luna fly away.
I look at the tourney board they left behind, now determined.
This was going to be Awesome...
