The Mane six, protagonists of My little Pony Friendship is Magic.

All gifted in their own way

But now it's time to answer the age old question.

who would win a DEATHBATTLE.

Twilight Sparkle

Twilight Sparkle, the unofficial leader of the Mane Six. She's the youngest Alicorn princess. Some say Cadence, but she may or may have gotten her wings sooner. Let's go go on. Before that she was one of the most powerful unicorns on the planet. Twilight was born and raised in Canterlot (just assuming). After hatching her dragon assistant Spike (and aging him), she was accepted into Celestias School for Gifted Unicorns. After years of training under the tutelage of Celestia herself. She was given the task of making friends, and learning the magic of friendship in Ponyville. Considering she's about to fight her friends to the death I think Celestia's teaching failed. And after learning about friendship, and building strong bonds with Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash. She was granted her wings, and her place as a princess, by Celestia herself. As the Alicorn Princess of Friendship, she has a massive amount of power. Friendship is magic and all that. She's arguably one of most powerful characters in the entire series. Shes a prodigy among prodigies. Able to do things that should be impossible. But for this death battle I'm assuming she'll use her most used spells in her arsenal. Which essentailly boil down to....

Levitation, with this spell that most unicorns use. She's able to pick up, and throw pretty much anything in her line of sight. Teleportation which is exactly as you might, in a pink flash she's able to teleport short distances. But unlike most forms of teleportation in popular media. Twilights teleportation seems to have some form of lag. Even at extremely short distances, if you want proof of this see Spike scene from secret to my excess. Her most devastating ability is her beams, capable of knocking back changlings, blast holes in rocks and trees.

And finally while theoretically she has the strength of a earth pony, and flight of a Pegasi. She still hasn't mastered these abilities, being far weaker then both Pinkie and Applejack (and arguably Rarity). She's the weakest flier. She stands no chance of beating Rainbow Dash in a race. Hell she would struggle to beat Fluttershy, who's rage gives her a speed boost but more on that later.

Twilight also suffers from a myriad of emotional issues such as her apparent OCD. She has a tendency to over exaggerate every little mistake she makes. Twilight also had a complete mental break down. Yes that's great choice to wield the powers of Alicorn, but I digress. She has also overlooked her own mistakes which has caused her greatest failures.

But for all those issues we still can't count out Twilight Sparkle. She's had plenty of great feats, such as her fight with Tirek (his time will come). Kicked plenty of ass in the Changling invasion, helped rediscover the elements of harmony, to name a few of her feats.

Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash (AKA Sonic as a pony). She's brash, bold, and in your face. Born and raised in Cloudsdale. Rainbow Dash like her friend Twilight was a child prodigy, doing a Sonic Rainboom, and instigating the events of all her friends cutie marks. From a young age Rainbow knew what her goal was. And that was to become a Wonderbolt, think Blue angels. But Ponies, yes I stole that joke. But up until recently to put it lightly, she's failed. However it's implied in Testing 1,2,3 she's a Reserve Wonderbolt.

And with that let's move onto her strengths, most note worthy is her speed. She's one of the fastest charcter in series. Not only that, but she is also extremely agile weaving in and out of traffic (look at find Rainbow a pet) with ease. She also has three of the most destructive abilities in MLP. First we have the famous Sonic Rainboom, a sonic boom so powerful it can completely shatter stones. While she can take the Rainboom one step further, to create the Double Sonic Rainboom. The second boom is more style then substance. As the second boom doesn't seem to have any more of an affect then the first. Next is the the fan dubbed Sonic Rainnuke. Basically she gets up to the velocity of the Rainboom. But rather then flying in the air, she smashes hoof first into an object, completely decimating a barn sized building. Lastly we have the Buccaneer Blaze, now this one is a little hard to describe since we never see it being fully used. But for what it's worth, Rainbow some how creates a giant explosion after going off screen.

While Rainbow Dash maybe best known for her fantastic speed, and flight. She's far from defenceless on the ground. She has a black belt in karate, yes I'm tempted to steal another joke from Screwattack but I won't. She is insanely durable, while many point out her her getting hit by a full grown dragon super impressive BTW, or smashing through trees and stone once again durable. But I feel like her ultimate show of durability is the fact that she's been at the epicentre of multiple explosions. The Rainboom, Rainnuke, and Blaze all seem to create a fair sized explosion. Those talents may make her the best fighter out of the Mane six.

However Rainbow isn't perfect. Like I said shes brash and bold, but she's also confident to the point of arrogance. She patted herself on the back which caused the failure of a Dam. And while she's a great fighter, she also is the least intelligent member of the Mane Six. Hell she didn't start reading until she met Twilight Sparkle. She also has a tendency to jumps before looking, most of the time biting off more then she can chew.

But for all of her weakness, Rainbow Dash is clearly the most combat ready pony. Does that mean she'll takes this battle though?

Applejack

Applejack was raised in Ponyville, she was orphaned (or abandoned) at fairly young age. She quickly adapted though, and became the premier apple bucker for her families farm, Sweet Apple Acres. That being said, other then being extremely family oriented, there isn't very much to Applejack, pretty much what you see is what you get. A sweet southernbelle, maybe a little stubborn but other then that nothing really all that memorable about her.

Applejack is best known for her incredible strength. Even when exhausted she still had the power and skill to knock down an entire trees worth of apples. But beyond that she's also a master with the lasso, she's able to lift and throw things, after expertly grappling an object with the lasso. and finally she has arguably the most endurance out of the entire cast, Pinkie may say otherwise though. Like I said she's extremely stubborn and even whe exhausted was capable knocking down an entire apple trees worth of apples.

But Applejack also suffers from a lack of a truly powerful arsenal, she isn't at master hand to hand. She isn't magically gifted, doesn't have Pinkiness, no rage. She's just normal.

Rarity

Rarity was raised in Ponyville, she's the daughter of two just average everyday ponies. But she dreamed bigger then her station. She dreams of one day being the most famous fashion designer in all of Equestria. And she's slowly achieving that goal. While Rarity may look act and talk, like the stereotypical girly girl. She's far from that, first she's extremely generous with her time and money, she's also one of the few unicorn willing to get her hooves dirty.

Rarity is very similar to Applejack, except while she has an extremely limited arsenal. She's a master with those abilities. Such as her levitation being atleast comparable to Twilights own (outside her lift trees worth of apples). She can have fabric, mannequins needles all dancing around her as she works. And like I said in the beginning of this article, Rarity is more then going hoof to hoof with anybody "Now normally I'm not a fighter, I'm more into fashion. But, I'LL RIP YOU TO SHREDS IF YOU HURT ONE SCALE ON HIS CUTE LITTLE HEAD" Rarity threatening a dragon. But arguably her greatest asset is her intelligence, while true she's not as classically intelligent as Twilight. she has opened her own business, and has made that business successful. Unlike Applejack who had the framework for a successful farm. Rarity started from scratch. Which is why I believe Rarity is the oldest (read the AN If you want my reasonings for why and who is oldest to youngest). She's also a master manipulator, as shown when she tricked the diamond dogs. She also understand her own femininity, and is more then willing to use that against Spike.

But for all of that, Rarity is still considered extremely weak. Not only is her arsenal limited, but almost everything she does good. One of the other ponies does better. Such as Twilight being better with magic, Rainbow being better hoof to hoof, Pinkie having a larger arsenal, and Applejack being stronger.

But for those weakness, she just might haves the skills to shock you and take this death battle.

Fluttershy

Fluttershy just as her name would imply she's shy. Flutters was born in Cloudsdale, like her friend Rainbow Dash. But unlike Rainbow Dash, who was a filly prodigy. Fluttershy lacked natural flying ability. And after dropping out of flight school (literally) she discovered her gift, which is talking to animals (more on that later). She honed her gift, and later took up a job as animal care taker for Ponyville.

Like I said above, Fluttershy has a a natural connection with most animals. Some of whom see Fluttershy as their mother. But all of whom will come to Fluttershy if she needs them to.

But beyond that, probably the most dangerous skill she has is her rage. When pissed off she gets a massive boost in physical strength, easily over powering most large animals, most remember when she fought a bear with her bare hooves and won, even Rainbow Dash has faltered under Fluttershy's rage fuelled strength. She also gets a boost in speed, while most puts this on par with Rainbow. I Feel the need to point out, that unlike Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, even an enraged Fluttershy lacks the blurring effect, that Pinkie and Rainbow leave when moving fast. That being said, she easily outstrips Twilight, and most of the cast when mad. And finally we have the Stare. What's the Stare you might ask, the Stare is Fluttershys most powerful weapon. She glares at an opponent and most will bow to her will. The only notable exception is Discord, no he won't be in this death battle his time will come later.

The Only problem. Fluttershy is a coward. Usually taking an entire episode to build up to her blowing, making her a less powerful fighter then you might think.

But if that's her only weakness, you better watch out for this timid animal care taker. Because she just make "LOVE HER"

Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie is a psychotic serial killer who...

NOT THAT PINKIE PIE, NEVER THAT PINKIE PIE.

Fine MLP fanbase, I was just having some fun.

Pinkamena Diane Pie, better known as Pinkie Pie. Where do I even begin, Pinkie Pie was raised on a rock farm. Where she was completely miserable. Until one day a Rainbow from the sky showed this little earth pony joy. And for the first time in life Pinkie had a goal. Spread joy. While many fans misinterpret Pinkie as a party pony only, Pinkie is in fact a smile pony. She'll do anything to get a smile, from helping some one jump rope, to being the mediator between waring nations.

Pinkie Pie also has an extremely broad arsenal of skills. But where do I even begin with her. I guess I can start with the simple. She's a fourth wall breaker. While she's not aware that she's a cartoon, she is aware that she's being viewed, extremely similar to some versions of the Joker from Batman.

but beyond that, she also is able to manipulate cartoon physics. Such as slowing her decent, floating with balloons, ballooning herself up, coil her neck up, and extending her neck, floating in the air, appearing in random places. Such as in a mirror, behind a lights, hanging from ceilings. Sneezing confetti, opening the black space at an end of episodes. Speed that rivals if not exceeds Rainbow Dash. Lifting and throwing things with her mane and tail, the pinkie sense. And finally the famous PARTY CANNON

and thats just a touch of the randomness that is Pinkie.

That being said, While Pinkie Pie has the largest arsenal of any pony on this list. She is also the least combat oriented of all the ponies. She also may have flashes of brilliance, but she also has borderline brainless moments.

but if those are her only weakness. Then watch out Pinkamena Might just decide to bake some..... NOT THAT PINKIE PIE

FINE "Grumbles slightly" The others better watch their back, because Pinkie might just have a Party of One after this fight is over.

And with that the combatants are set it's time to end this debate once and for all. It's time to see who would win a death battle.

Six ponies in a circle. One was a two toned purple pony with wings and a horn. She had a light purple body, and a dark purple mane and tail, with a pink streak through her mane and tail.

another was a pure white unicorn with a heavily curled mane and tale.

Next to her was a pink pony with a poofy dark pink mane.

across from her stood a timid looking pale yellow pegasi, with a long light pink mane and tale.

She cast a glance at a Rainbow mane and tailed pegasi

who was glaring, at an orange pony with A blond mane and tail. She wore a brown cowboy hat atop her head.

BEGIN

Instantly Rainbow Dash smashed straight into Applejack. She quickly delivered two powerful jabs. She did a back flip, kicking the earth pony on the chin.

Twilight eye snapped from pony to pony 'Think Twilight think'
She thought, as Pinkie Pie bounced behind a tree.

Rarity horn glowed faintly she lifted stones from the ground around her. 'Twilight' The Alicorn felt a razor sharp pane in her rump. She created a barrier, just in time to block four more rocks from hitting her. Suddenly Pinkie appeared in a cloud of dust beside her "Bang!" She yelled loudly firing her party cannon as she did "Bang, bang!" Rarity stumbled back "Bang Bang bang!" Twilight grinned and fired a beam straight at Pinkie.

The Earth pony giggled and did an exaggerated back flip, to dodge the pink light. "Missed me" Pinkie giggled out, as she was surrounded by a pale blue energy, Rarity with a twitch of her head, sent Pinkie fly across the paddock turned battlefield.

"Wahoo!" She screamed suddenly slowing down mid flight "That was fun Rarity" she touched down "Do it again!"

Applejack felt the powerful pegasi pin her back legs as she delivered two more ground and pound punches. "Geet off of me!" She bellowed. Applejack bucked and thrashed with all her might, throwing Rainbow Dash into the air. "Get down here!" Her lasso bound itself around Dash's back leg. And with a twitch of her tail Rainbow smashed head first into the ground.

Fluttershy timidly walked away from the group, suddenly Rarity smashed into a tree beside her groaning weakly. "Look out!" Unicorn and Pegasi narrowly avoided a thick beam of pure pink energy. Twilight was wheezing slightly as she aimed at the two jumping and avoiding her attacks.

Applejack quickly hog tied Rainbows wings and back legs. she twitched her tail, swinging Rainbow high above her head "Twalight catch" she yelled releasing the pegasi turned wrecking ball.

"No!" Rainbow Dash screamed before being completely destroyed by Twilights beam.

Fluttershy went still, her wings flared out "How could you" She cried loudly "You're dead" In a flash, Fluttershy smashed into the Alicorn. Twilight teleported just in time to avoid a powerful punch. "Come help momma" suddenly out of the forest erupted a pack of ravenous wolves, Twilight created a bubble to block the wolves teeth and claws, as Fluttershy flew high into the air. "RAHHHHHH" She let out a battle roar.

Twilight stumbled away from the the assault of wolves. She could hear Fluttershy charging behind her. Twilight waited until Fluttershy was about to crash into her. Instantly young Alicorn teleported out of the way of the flying tackle. Flutters didn't have time to stop, and she rocketed into the wolves. Fluttershy felt a rope bind itself tightly around her neck and she was dragged out of the pile of dead wolves. Rarities horn flashed bright blue, blinding the rage fuelled pegasi. Like her best friend before her, she was incinerated by Twilight.

Twilight Rarity and Applejack looked at one another. Everything was completely still Raritys horn glowed faintly. Applejack kicked up a little dirt. Twilight spread her wings slightly. All three waited for one another to make the first move. Rarity reacted first throwing up a hail of stones from below Twilight, she turned just in time to hit Applejack with a left hook. Rarity was plucked up off the ground, by a pink aura, and was tossed into tree line behind Twilight.

The princess yelped loudly, when the earth pony cow girl bucked her into the right rib cage. The turned on Applejack, but was instantly bucked into face. Applejack jumped into the air, Twilight looked up and sent a shockwave into Applejack. Applejack did a back flip from the force of the shockwave that ripped into her body. Twilight narrowly blocked Rarity's attempts to impale with wood steaks. The unicorn and Alicorn clashed. the wooden steaks and stones and anything else the two could pick up, where thrown back and fourth between the two. Rarity side stepped to the left and right, Twilight was blocking with her bubble of energy.

The dazed Applejack stood up. She swung her tail. The lasso whirled above her, she was watching the two waiting for her moment. And in an instant she saw it, the objects being thrown back and forth no longer blocked her. With a twitch of her tail the lasso rocketed at its target. Twilights eyes nearly popped of her skull when a lasso wrapped tightly around neck. "Applejack" She gurgled as she was ripped off the ground by the super strong earth pony. Applejack was spinning the young Alicorn a large circle above her head. She tugged sharp towards her self, She got in position to buck Twilight. Twilight was just conscious enough to fire a beam. An explosion rocked the battlefield. Rarity covered her eyes, as a cloud of dust over took her. She could hear a weak wheezing coming. from the epicentre of the explosion. Rarity made out a figure standing up. A Powerful pink shock wave, dispersed the cloud instantly.

Standing over dead Applejack was Twilight "Rarity" Twilight limped out of the crater, her right wing clearly broken. Rarity lifted stones, and shattered trees, they danced around weakly. Twilight took a deep breath and fired a beam of magic. The two exhausted magic users danced around one another. projectiles and beams narrowly missing there marks. Rarity screamed as a beam burned her deeply, Twilight saw a single wooden spike loose it's blue glow right behind Rarity's neck. "Hack.." Rarity gurgled, a single large wooden steak stabbed straight through her neck. Twilight finished Rarity with a beam, leaving nothing but a pile ash, where the unicorn once stood.

"Pinkie!" Twilight screamed loudly "We're ending this"

"Bang" Twilight was thrown ten feet by the Party Cannon. She stumbled to her feet only to be knocked back down by a pink blur. Suddenly she felt a large cannon be pushed down onto her back "Bang" Twilight teleported. The cannon exploded against the ground. Just as Reappeared Twilight repeared Pinkie was in her face laughing. In unison both froze glaring at one another. At the same Pinkie whipped a cannon out from behind her, and Twilight fired a beam. Twilight was staring at the pink pony who's head was missing "Did I win...."

"Bang!" Twlight was blown back dead, the Pink pony's head suddenly popped out from her body.

WINNER

Lets start from the begining. Rainbow Dash, her lack of intelligence meant worked against her instantly. As she chose to fight Applejack in a battle of strength, completely negating her strengths.

Next we had Fluttershy, her own clwardice worked against. She was an open target until some one took her out. this battle could've gone the way of Shy had I gave her enraged state straight out of the gate. But since her enraged state usually takes prodding that wouldn't make sense

Applejack and Rarity while theoretically the weakest members of the mane six. They're also the two of most intelligent. Meaning that what few natural gifts they had, they can use to negate the strengths of all the others.

And finally Twilight. While she is undoubtly the most powerful pony. her intelligence worked against her. Because she chose to take out the most immediate threat, rather then the future threat, Pinkie and Fluttershy posed. And that cost as the pure force of nature that is Pinkie was much more fresh for their final confrontation.
Amd finally Pinkie.

Alot of people criminally underrate Pinkie because of her nature. That being she has some of the most dangerous power set of any single pony in the entire franchise. Combine that with her natural speed. The black space which allowed her to avoid battling and exhausting herself early on. And finally the power party cannon that can throw back plenty of changelings in one shot. And all of those combine gave her a more consistent victory, over the unreliable rage of Flutters, and raw power of Twilight.

Next Time

A biped with two ninjato slowly melted into the shadow.

An Alicorn watched this happen with trepidation.

Author's Note

Can you spot the two reference I made. Here's a hint, the first is a reference to a four player brawler, and the second is a reference to an x-over video game fighter
