Clash of the Legends

The massive crowd of replicants split into 4; One quarter went for the bush,  another, much larger portion went for original Scorch-Mane, the other two willing to simply watch the two fights occurring within their midst. Shining Armor swallowed hard, and he had a decision to make: him? Or Scorch? It didn't take long to decide to try to be noticed for a promotion to increase the victory reward and go for his team-mate. He prepared to shoot the 100 strong crowd's apparent leader the moment they parted the bushes. The wave of maroon slowly crept closer, the figurehead clone grinning psychotically and his eye twitching ever-so-slightly as he approached the foliage cover. A sudden burst of adrenaline and Shining abandoned his surprise attack plan. He soared through the air, fuelled by a fanatical desire to do many brutal things to somepony he hated. (Of course, it wasn't really Scorch, these were clones. But hey, clone skulls still make decent decorations right?)

He flung himself into the leader, swiping hooves at him in a desperate attempt to rip his head off, and pulling the trigger on his crossbow with enough force to bend the metal slightly. Despite the lack of aiming, the bolt found it's mark and thunked into Psycho Scorch's armor. The replica fell without a sound as several thousand volts whipped through his nerves and 'killed' the copy. A loud clunk was heard as the plated armor crashed into the ground, ripping grass and staining it with faint amounts of blood. As this clone hit the dirt, another two were falling with cracked jaws and heads stuck together with their horns in each other's skulls. Another 10 fell after a burst of magic from Shining Armor's horn. He didn't care about the Griffonia Convention and its rules of war, he simply wanted Scorch-Mane to die.

The gathered ponies in town hall watching the broadcast coming from Canterlot could do nothing but gasp in horror at what Twilight's brother was doing. Ponyville's usually cheerful demeanour died when Celestia was shot by Cadence. A few ponies dared to cast a glance over at Twilight Sparkle, but were snapped back to watching the film when another clone's head exploded in a burst of brains and bone. The popping noises would keep everypony awake for days to come. The recording crew was simply changing between helmet cameras, but they were staying on Shining Armor's because the others were being boring. Every once in a while a clone would land a decent hit, but were promptly dealt with. Twilight was almost in tears. Rainbow Dash was drooling in her sleep. Applejack was slowly edging away from the blood red punch in the bowl. Pinkie was paler than...a pale thing. Fluttershy was not there, there was simply a new tree outside. Rarity was stifling vomit.

It all calmed for a second, but that's when everypony realized Shining had been hit and was going unconcious. Twilight yelled "NO!", but it was too late. He was already on the floor, lying looking at Psycho Scorch's corpse. The eyes were staring ahead, the face in a look of shock.

That's when they snapped back up and stared at Shining, the psychotic grin returning to his face. Almost everypony screamed at the sudden horror film-esque ending. Rainbow let out a snrrk. Waking up, she saw everypony screaming, and didn't get it until she looked at the screen.
