Three ponies surprised by his presence jumped back... Except for one.

"Hohoho! It's about time you showed up bud! Now you get to see me take on the so called... Best adventurer." Trick said, Rainbow got in his face.

"She is the best!" Rainbow declared. Trick pushes her aside.

"If she was the best she would use an adventurers best friend!" Trick said, then pulls a cylinder object out of his hat. Flint began to panic, but the pegusi were already pestering him to put it away.

"I don't care who you are Trick. But if this means I get back the staff of Starswirl, then let's do this!" Daring do said, then pulls out a whip at same time Trick pulls out the staff. Trick shoot a few bolt a Daring which she quickly dodges. Daring then takes a chance and charges at Trick. Flint knew that was a bad idea. Trick shoots a bolt a tree limb with precise timing and it fall onto Daring, knocking her out instantly. Rainbow fainted at the sight of her fallen hero.

"Ha! Told you!" Trick said boosting.

"Okay that was cheap shot. At least play fair." Flint said and Rainbow Dash's ears perked up.

"You! You! Eerrgh!" Rainbow said, And stomped on the ground in frustration. Trick look back at Flint.

"You go ahead back to sweet apple acres or ponyville. I don't care. I'll catch up with you in a bit" Trick said, then waved his staff and both him and Daring do disappeared. Flint then grabbed Rainbow before she exploded in rage.

"Calm down. There is on honor in cheap shots." Flint said not letting go of Rainbow. She kept trying to get free, but Flint was stronger than her and she couldn't free herself.

"I don't know what Luna sees in that phsyco, just let me go." Rainbow said angrily.

"No, not until your calm." Flint said fiercely.

"Fine!" Rainbow said, scowling at Flint be seemed to be calming down.

"You don't seem calm yet. Your muscles are tense like you want to hit somebo... somepony." Flint said. Rainbow let out a load sigh and started to relax.

"Ok. I'm done. Rainbow is aaaaall gooood." Rainbow said in a pout. Flint lets go of Rainbow Dash.

"Sorry, but as a brawler, violent with anger is always trouble. I just don't want any damage from anger." Flint said. Rainbow scratched the back of her head.

"Ya, sometimes I can go a little over the edge. It's just, Trick is a phsyco, don't stay around him, no matter what you think of him now." Rainbow said, then flew off.

"He was a lot more sane when we brawled." Flint said with a sigh. It was a long day for Flint. It's even longer when Applebloom and two other fillies popped out of nowhere when I entered the market place. Since Applejack stopped her from finding out Flint' s talent, Applebloom was going to take advantage of this moment.

"Hiya Flint! We've been looking all over for you." Applebloom said. The Pegasus filly and the unicorn we on the sides of Flint looking at his cutie mark.

"Uh, Flint what does yer cutie mark mean?" The unicorn asked.

"I'm a brawler. I fight in tournaments. See?" Flint said and lit his hoof on fire. The two fillies that we're bouncing around him ood and awed at the flame. The orange filly with purple hair spoke up.

"That. Is. AWSOME!!!!" The pegasus said.

"Yeah it is, in its own way." Flint said smiling at the fillies.

"Applebloom! Come here ah need yer help somthin!" Applejack called out. Applebloom said good bye to Flint and he was left with two fillies who he didn't know.

"Do the two of you have names or do am I going to be left in the blank?" Flint asked. The unicorn spoke first.

"My name's sweetie belle! And that's scootaloo. And we're..." The unicorn said. The two fillies inhaled as much air as they could.

"THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!!!!!" The two shouted simultaneously. Flint never flinched at the loud scream.

"Well, plus Applebloom." Sweetie Belle said.

"Cute name, so what do cutie mark crusaders do exactly?" Flint asked.

"We help fillies like us get there cutie marks. Speaking of which, we're gonna go get our skydiving cutie mark! See you later mister Flint." Scootaloo explained. The two fillies ran off before Flint could stop them. Flint turned around to come face to face with himself. He raised his hoof and the second Flint did the same thing. Flints hoof. Caught fire and the second Flints hoof caught fire as we'll except in a green flame. Then the imposter exploded in the green flame. And when it dispersed it revealed an ear to ear grinning Trick.

"Hi there!" Trick said smiling.

"That's new, when did you learn it? Oh, yeah and what happened to the mare that disappeared with you?" Flint asked.

"One, I've had these powers for a while but only my right foreleg can hold a transformation for long and two, she's in bed." Trick said, then holds up his right Right foreleg and the flame covers his whole body. When it goes away Trick is wearing a white tux with a red bow tie.

"I can use my foreleg for clothes and stuff. I can only hold a full transformation for an hour. So what do you want to do now? I've got plenty of bits." Trick asked.

"I'm up for whatever." Flint said shrugging and said that partially because he still has no idea where he is going. Trick got a big smile when he thought of an idea.

"Come come Flint, follow me!" Trick said, then started to walk away with Flint right behind him. When they reached their destination, the store sign said: Vinyl's record shop and club.".

"Is this a nightclub?" Flint asked.

"It's open all night." Trick said, chilled at his joke as he stepped inside.

"Yo! Trick my man! How it hangin!" A unicorn mare said, walking up to Trick as he stepped inside. She had and electric blue mane and tail with a coat as white as Trick's.

"I'm just here to finish my song, this is Flint. He's an old friend of mine. I'll be in the back if you need me!" Trick said, then went inside a door leaving two in the shop.

"Flint Hooves." Flint said holding out his hoof. The unicorn bumped his hoof.

"Vinyl scratch!" Th mare said. Vinyl walked away and put in a record in a giant dj machine and it started to play real loud.

"THIS IS JUST MY DISHWASHER!!!!" Vinyl shouted.

"Good to know!!!" Flint yelled back. He then noticed a charcoal black mare stopping the dishwashers loud music.

"Vinyl, please don't wash the dishes with wubs.". Vinyl took off her glasses.

"Oh, But Octavia it's like the best way to wash them." Vinyl said. Right then Trick burs red through the door.

"It. Is. Finished!" Trick said, then popped it into the dishwasher and it started to play some intense music.

"Nice! That has got to be your song when you do a brawl." Flint said and the two mares were confused.

"He's from a different dimension, they hold fighting tournaments, and when I went there everybody had a theme song but me." Trick said explaining.

"Ohhhh. That makes sense." Vinyl said and Octavia facehoofed.

"And tell me Vinyl, how that makes sense." Octavia said.

"Because it came out of Tricks mouth. He's crazier than pinkie so ponies just deal with." Vinyl said shrugging.

"Yeah I think that this might be more helpful." Flint said and then lit his hoof on fire. Octavia screamed and ran into one of the doors while Vinyl just stood there.

"Whooooaaaa. That's awsome." Vinyl said, Then another Vinyl started to do the same thing. After a few seconds Vinyl 1 looked over at Vinyl 2.

"Ah! Clone! Kill it with fire Flint!" Vinyl 1 said, the other Vinyl erupts in flame and is replaced by a laughing Trick.

"Oh that never gets old!" Trick said. Flint shakes his head while smiling. Then he walked into the room Octavia ran into.

"Yo, you okay?" Flint asked the frightened mare.

"How did you do that!" Octavia said, but was holding a pan in her mouth so they just heard "mrph meph erpherm merph."

"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what you are saying. I didn't mean to frighten you honest." Flint said. She spit out the pan. "I said how did you do that?".

"I well... uh... learned it?" Flint said nervously and Octavia facehoofed.

"Whatever, I'm done." Octavia said And goes back into the first room.

"Well that was fun but we gotta go!" Trick said, grabbing Flint and they teleport to the Everfree forest, "I've got to stock up on some potions. You can come in you want."

"Damn, I didn't catch her name. I'll see her tomorrow I guess." Flint said and noticed that Trick entered a hut. He then followed him in.

"Ah, Trick, your here! I'm almost done with your potion so dear." An exotic accent said. Flint saw a Zebra with a robe and big rings on her ears, and she was stirring something inside a big cauldron.

"Would you like any help Zecora?" Trick asked.

"Trick it's getting dark out. I think that I need to go back at Sweet Apple Acres." Flint said and the Zacora got in his face.

"Ahhhhh, Trick has a new friend? Tell me, what is your name?" Zacora asked.

"Flint Hooves. I'm... I'm a... Brawler." Flint said nervously.

"Ah! Trick has told me about you. Trick said he fought you." Zacora said.

"Yes it's true Zecora! Me and him were the best of the best!" Trick said then held up a few bottles.

"I'll take some of these." Trick said then paid Zecora and the two split off. As Flint was head toward sweet apple acres he felt somepony was following him.

"Who there? Show yourself!" Flint said with four hooves ablaze.

"Flint Hooves, we have come to question thee." A booming sound spoke. A hooded pony came out from the shadows.

"We have heard from our dear Trick that thou are a Brawler yes? What is a Brawler and are they dangerous to my little ponies?" The hooded pony spoke.

"That depends on who I fight. Just who the hell are you?" Flint shouted at the hooded pony.

"That's none of your concern for now. I'll be watch you from afar Flint Hooves." The hooded pony spoke, Then the figure disappeared.

Flint had closed the curtains to the room he was staying in and started pacing.

"Who was that asshole. Next time I see him... I'll...I'll..." Flint was interrupted when Applejack opened the door.

"Uh, are you talkin to yerself their sugercube?" Apple jack asked, placing her hoof on his shoulder, "ya need to talk about it?"

"I accidentally spooked a mare by doing this." Flint said and lit his hoof on fire. He didn't want to mention the hooded pony.

"I planned on finding her and sorting it out." Flint said.

"I bet she's fine. You can always apologize and sort it out." She said, then placed her hoof to Flint's chest. "You've got a good heart Flint.". She then walked out of the room.

"Yeah, but I still have that demon." Flint said and went to bed.

Brawler terms: Cheating- Something that brings no honor in a brawl, and can endanger those close to you. Those that use cheap shots are cheating and aren't true brawlers.
