Equestrian Fighting Tournament

"So... how are you linking your new body?"

"Hmhmhmm... It's magnificent my queen."

"Mmm, I love it when you call me that."

"Did you hear that Celestia is hosting a fighting tournament?"

"Is she?"

"Yep. It's very underground... It's not supposed to be announced to the public until tomorrow."

"Does that mean-?"

"Yes."

"Hahaha... I love that brilliantly evil mind of yours my love..."

"You're not beating me brother!" Twilight hid behind a waist-high barricade, panting, out of breath. "Don't give away your position!" Shining Armor pounced at Twilight. Twilight acted quickly and rolled out of the way. Shining then began blasting energy at his sister. "Twi, you can do better, can't you?" Twilight used her magic to create a shield. With the last blast, the shield shattered. "Damn!" Twilight rolled towards her brother and gave him a quick punch to the face. Shining grabbed her arm before she could pull away. "Game over sis..." He snapped her arm in two, Twilight began screaming in absolute pain. Shining Armor moved his other hand towards her neck.

"It's over..."

Shining Armor snapped Twilight's neck. He stood in silence as a green glow emmited from her dead body. "Agh! Dammit!" The green glow took the form of Twilight. Twilight's Dead body disappeared and the glow turned into flesh. "Sis, you gotta be more careful when hiding. Don't yell out... Also, don't roll towards your opponent when-" "Yeah, Yeah... I've had enough training for one day..."

"... Shining 7, Twi 3... Not bad sis."

"HAA!" Big Macintosh Smashed his fist into Applejack's forearm. The shear force seemed to shake the earth. "C'mon brother, you're stronger than-" Applebloom sweeped at Applejack's leg. Applejack jumped up dodging the speedy kick, she then flipped Big Mac over her shoulder. "Both of ya at once means both of ya at once... Don't take turns."

Big Mac looked at Applebloom. "I go high, you go low... okay?" Applebloom nodded. They both rushed their sister, Mac punching with the force of a rocket at Applejack's face and Applebloom attempting to knock her off her feet. "That's it..." Applejack ducked under Big Macintosh's arm and then rolled over Applebloom's kick. As they both looked side to side in a confusion, Applejack jumped into the air and kicked them both into the ground.

"AJ! You're amazing, you're definitely gonna win!" Applebloom yelled out in joy as she rubbed her back.

"Eyup..." Big Macintosh walked over to his sister. "Applejack, you're gonna make us proud... the whole Apple Family." He smiled and hugged her.

"Thanks..." She looked over at the farm. "Boy... It sure would be nice to get some money to fix this place up."

"HA! HA! HAA!" Fluttershy punched Rainbow Dash's hand with all of her strength. Rainbow Dash shook the pain off. "Whoo! You're getting tough on me Flutters?" Rainbow Dash teased. "Oh! Um... no..." Fluttershy looked down at the ground. "Hey, that could've taken... atleast THREE changelings out. You're doin' alright girl!" Fluttershy sighed. "But you took it no problem... What if I threw a pathetic punch like that at Applejack or Twilight?" Rainbow Dash placed her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder. "Relax, the tournament isn't for another week. I could take that punch no problem because-" "You're so cool..."

"Huh, wha-?" "Rainbow Dash, I can't be like you... but I do want to." Fluttershy smiled at her friend. Rainbow Dash returned the smile. "Hey now, you better not change on me." The two girls laughed. "Now, another few punches and we get somethin' to eat!" Rainbow Dash grinned. "Oh! Umm Okay..." Fluttershy nodded.
