"And that's why I need the crown back! It's my responsibility as a princess! I can't allow my home to be destroyed over this! Will you please help?" Twilight begged her friends. Equestria was being attacked by multiple of Twilight's other enemies, including Nightmare Moon, just as Sunset Shimmer succeeded in stealing her crown. Equestria was doomed to be destroyed without them. Her friends, wholeheartedly agreed, though Applejack was absent because she had jujitsu practice. The group went to watch her match. Twilight may learn how to fight if she watched her.

As they walked into the gym, they first realized it reeked with the smell of socks.

"What is that ATROCIOUS smell?!" Exclaimed Rarity, obviously disgusted by the vulgar smell of the gym.

Twilight noticed that the gym had a giant red and blue mat in the center and two individuals standing on it, sweating and huffing. One was Applejack. She looked absolutely suckered out, as she had undid her ribbon, allowing her hair to fly around her body, glistening with sweat. She wore a drenched white judo costume, complete with a black belt wrapped around her slim waist. She whipped up her arm, ready for another strike by the opposing competitor.

Twilight looked to the other side of the gym, where, about 1 yard away, was the opposing competitor. She recognized him as Dark Side, an old friend of theirs. He wore a overly serious look on his face as his dark blue hair draped over his eyes like curtains. The purple tips of his hair were also shined by sweat. He wore the same costume as Applejack, but it was black, and he had a black belt also, but the dark hue of the costume made it virtually impossible to see. He looked directly at Applejack and proceeded to take his battle stance. He spread his legs apart and rested his left arm on his left leg. His stance mimicked that of Akuma's from the video game Street Fighter.

The two took no notice of the two until Pinkie Pie, holding true to her character, yelled out cheering for them.

"Go Applejack! Rough em' up Dark Side!" She yelled, unable to choose who's side she was on.

Applejack looked in their direction, breaking her stance. "Pinkie Pie?! Yer lucky we didn't start yet or I might've lost!" Applejack said, wiping sweat of of her noggin.

Pinkie Pie looked down in disappointment. "Sorry, well, go Dark-"

"Y'know, Pinkie, that goes for me too y'see." Dark Side said in his normal dark voice, unlike Applejack, not flinching and holding his stance, prepared just in case Applejack put in some sucker punches.

"As c'mon guys! Don't be such stickers!" Pinkie said in her exaggerated voice.

This time it was Dark Side's turn to flinch. "Aw, c'mon Pinkie! This bout determines the new captain of the jujitsu team! I cannot afford to lose this bout, y'know!" . Dark Side said, also breaking his stance.

"Dark Side! How dare you scream at a lady like such! That was very ungentlemanlike!" Rarity posted using a fake word to unjustify Dark Side's actions.

"Aw, c'mon! Why'd you bring my girlfriend here too?! This'll just be a major distraction y'know!" Dark Side said, fearing that his fighting ability would become disoriented due to the prescience if his girlfriend.

"Hey, you two!" Called Coach Soarin from the back of the gym. He stood there with a few students also wearing the same costumes as Dark Side and . Applejack in varieties of colors. A few faces that stood out to the group of friends were Rover, from the Diamond Brothers Group, Snips and Snails, two best friends who never left each other's side, and Sweetie Belle, who seemed to be hiding behind the coach, as if she did not want to be seen by someone. "You two still have one more round left! Get a move on!" Finished Coach Soarin as he blew his whistle, initiating the final round of the bout.

The two rivals went back into their fighting stances. They put back on their serious looks and locked eyes with one another, ready to strike at any time.

Pinkie Pie opened her mouth as if to attempt to cheer for them once more, but Rarity covered her mouth with her hand as the rest of the group watched intently.

For a while, neither one of them moved. Then, out of the blue, Applejack moved with such speed, it impressed even Rainbow Dash. She shot herself at Dark Side and grabbed his shoulder as she moved her leg behind one of his legs. She pushed both of her ligaments forward, causing him to fall backward with her falling on top of him.

However, Dark Side knew how to deal with such a move. As the both fell forward the ground, Dark Side quickly raised the leg he had been tripped with, jabbing her stomach sharply as she flew in the air from impact as he threw her with his free foot. She landed back first onto a blue section of the mat, sweat flying of of her body as she uncontrollably hit the ground. Dark Side took the free time as an opportunity and rolled over back onto his feet and rushed at Applejack's body as she lie there, struggling to get up.

Dark Side grasped both of Applejack's arms in his hand and placed his foot on her back. She put up a good struggle, but he held her stiffly in place, due to his greater strength. He proceeded to pull her arms back ward, causing strain to be put in her arms and her spine.

"Augh!" Applejack screamed as Dark Side pulled backward, harder each time she struggled.

"No! Applejack! Do something!" Yelled Fluttershy from the back of her group, breaking her normal shy demeanor.

"Applejack you can do it!" Yelled Rainbow Dash through a tunnel made by her hands.

"I- Ya'll..." Applejack murmered as more and more strain was placed on her back. She dropped her pained look and replaced it by a serious one. She knew what she was about to do would hurt her even more, but it was her only chance of escaping this hold without tapping out. She moved her back backward onto Dark Side's foot.

Dark Side put on a confused look. Hey what the he'll are yo-" Dark Side didn't get time to finish as Applejack raised her two front legs and wrapped them around his neck. She forced all her body weight onto her legs as she tossed Dark Side with her legs, slamming him head first into the ground. The ground made a resounding crack as his skull made maximum impact with the hard pavement. For awhile, Dark Side didn't move.

"Oh shoot I didn't mean tab-" Applejack said, ready to apologize as Dark Side began to move again.

"I...don't lose, y'see?!" Dark Side exclaimed as he slowly get back on his legs. He had blood coming down from his forehead, some of it staining his hear dark red. He wobbled as he got up, that serious face hiding his true emotions of hurt. He resumed his fighting stance before full on charging Applejack. Now, what Dark Side did next, he hoped he wouldn't have to do what he did next. His irises turned red and his pupils split into three magatama-shaped dots. The Sharingan. With this power he could see into the immediate future, giving him the upper hand.

Dark Side put one leg behind Applejack and used his free arm to push her backward, causing g her to trip over his foot. At this point, his Sharingan alerted him that Applejack was going to make a move and sure enough, she did. As she fell, she attempted to grab hold of Dark Side's Gi, to which he responded by moving his waist backward, barely avoiding her attempted counter.

As her plan to counter failed, she fell backward and hit the mat with great force. Dark Side responded to this opening by grabbing her Gi, almost touching her breasts and pulled her upward. He proceeded to zip behind her, put one arm just below her breasts and one arm below her forehead, covering her view of sight. She not only couldn't see, but her ribs were getting hurt badly because of her positioning.

"Dark Side stop this!" Yelled Rarity from the crowd. Dark Side simply ignored her, and waited for her to give up.

Dark Side continued his death grip, as Applejack's determination and pride prevented her from giving in. "Why won't you give up?!" Exclaimed Dark Side, questioning her determination.

"Cuz this match is important to me!" Yelled Applejack in response.

"Y'know, I like you. Your determination. Your dedication. I like it... because those two things are things I like to CRUSH under me heel!" Whispered Dark Side into her ear. Had Dark Side not been holding her, Applejack's eyes would have widened in terror.

Dark Side decided to switch strategies as he let her go for a brief second before putting her in a heavy, steel-gripped headlock.

Applejack's head felt as though it was being crushed by a giant boulder. "Give up yet?!" Yelled Dark Side in a very intimidating voice. As she managed to shake her head, he continued to crush grip her head.

Applejack got a risky idea. She hoped that this wouldn't come to this. She leaned forward, causing Dark Side to fall with her as the both fell toward the mat. Dark Side landed on top of her rear in in a very suggested manner.

"Oh... my..... god...." Rarity said.

"Oh shit..." Said Dark Side, his eyes widening as he realized what his situation looked like.
