Pony Kombat: The First Tournament

“Is that all ya got?” Adagio asked mockingly, as she threw another punch. Adagio was currently fighting another opponent in the tournament, her opponent was an exceptionally skilled fighter, but he was no match for Adagio.

The location they were currently fighting, was not the same arena the first two fights took place. Instead they seem to be in a throne room. The walls were red, with several windows shaped like dragons, several large pillars, and a long red carpet going across the room. In the center of the room, between two golden dragon statues, was a throne and sitting in the throne was none other than Trixie herself. Trixie was simply just sitting there watching the fight go down, waiting patiently for Adagio’s opponent to go down. She could never explain how she knew when an opponent was done, she could just always see it.

Finally, after Adagio delivered one final uppercut to the pony’s jaw, Trixie knew he was finished.

“Finish him!” Trixie shouted.

Adagio grinned, as soon as her opponent was standing up, Adagio plunged her hoof straight into the stallion’s chest. The stallion’s head shot up, eyes wide, gurgling on the blood leaking out of his mouth. Soon Adagio pulled her hoof out of her opponent’s chest, along with the fighter’s still beating heart. Adagio could of sworn, the stallion turn his eyes slightly towards his heart, right before dying and falling over. Adagio then held the still beating heart, up high for everyone to see.

“Adagio wins!” Trixie shouted, while clapping. “Fatalitiy!”

Pinkie Pie was among the few fighters left watching the fight. The amount of fighters still around, wasn’t even a quarter of the amount that she, saw on the ship. And speaking of what she saw on the ship, no one else knows this, but the opponent Adagio just killed was actually one of the fighters she befriended, one of the ponies that attacked her on the ship alongside Adagio and Adagio just ripped his heart out.

“Adagio Dazzle!” Trixie shouted from her throne, causing Adagio to turn towards her. “You are now one of the finalists in this tournament.”

Adagio simply smiled. “No surprises there.” she said.

“Your next opponent will be…..” Trixie said, pretending to think. “Pinkie Pie!”

Pinkie gulped, before removing her sunglasses and walking onto the arena, at the opposite side of Adagio.

“Heh, if it isn’t Ms. Applewood.” Adagio snarled, cracking her hooves. “Ah told ya at the boat, we’d meet.”

“Speaking of that…” Pinkie said, facing Adagio. “I couldn’t help but notice that stallion you slaughtered, was one of your…. ‘Friends’ that was bullying me on the boat.”

“Yeah well ah wasn’t gonna let him, git in the way of me winning this tournament.” Adagio said, standing on her hind legs. “Prolly gonna reward me, with tons of gold.”

‘Oh if only you knew, what your getting yourself into’ Pinkie Pie thought, getting on her hind legs as well, in preparation to fight.

“Alright…” Trixie said. “FIGHT!”

Adagio ran towards Pinkie, raising her first, attempting to punch Pinkie. Pinkie swiftly dodged the punch, and countered with a punch of her own. Adagio simply blocked this punch and swung around delivering a roundhouse kick to Pinkie’s left cheek, knocking her over.

Pinkie quickly got up and quickly faced Adagio, as she started running towards her again, this time Pinkie had a new plan. She quickly brought her hoof forward and shot out a green, glowing orb of energy towards Adagio. Adagio, taken completely off guard by this sudden attack, was hit in the chest and knocked flat on her back.

“H-how did you?...” Adagio was completely confused on how Pinkie did that, at with Applejack, it clearly obvious she was shooting her pink rings from her gauntlets. Pinkie however didn’t have anything on her forehooves. “Ah don’t know, how yer pulling that off, but it won’ save ya” Adagio said, as she jumped and did a flip in the air towards Pinkie.

Pinkie, assuming Adagio was aiming to kick her in the face, quickly put her forehooves up to block the oncoming kick. However this kick never came, as Adagio instead, landed behind Pinkie and delivered a sweep kick, knocking Pinkie onto her back. Adagio then proceeded to deliver a powerful stomp on Pinkie’s chest, before reaching down and grabbing Pinkie by the neck, pulling her up and delivering a powerful uppercut sending her flying across the arena, landing flat on her back.

“Oh come on’, Ah expected more even fo’ an actor, like you!” Adagio said. “Even AJ, was puttin’ up a betta fight!”

Pinkie groaned, as she pulled herself up. She turned around only to see a flying Adagio cannonball flying right at her. Pinkie managed to quickly leap into the air and over the cannonball, landing right on her hind legs. As soon as Adagio landed a few meters, in front of Pinkie Pie, she quickly did her signature Shadow Kick towards Adagio, striking her hard in the back knocking her to the ground. Adagio quickly pulled herself back up and rushed over, to Pinkie with her fist in the air. She through a punch, but Pinkie managed to side step and quickly locked Adagio’s fore hoof, with hers. Pinkie then quickly kneed her hind leg into Adagio’s stomach, smashed her head into her and finally tossing Adagio over her shoulder. Adagio landed and bounced a couple time, before finally settling on her side.

“How’s that for ‘fightin’ betta’” Pinkie said, mocking Adagio’s accent.

Adagio slowly pulled herself up, growling angrily as she faced Pinkie. As soon as she got up she quickly pulled out her butterfly knives from her boots, and threw them towards Pinkie Pie. Pinkie quickly did forward roll to dodge the flying knives and quickly got back on her hind legs to throw another green force-ball at Adagio. Adagio simply jumped over the green and glowing projectile and pulled out another set of butterfly knives.

Adagio landed in front of Pinkie and started slashing at Pinkie. Pinkie managed to dodge the slashing blades and did a back-flip away from Adagio, while she was still in the air, she threw another force-ball towards Adagio. This time Adagio was ready for it and threw one of her knives at the glowing, green projectile, he two projectiles being destroyed, when they collided. Pinkie ran up and threw a punch at Adagio. Adagio managed to catch the punch in her own hoof, before twisting Pinkie’s leg and jumping around and attempting to stab her other knife into the Pinkie’s neck. Pinkie however, sensing the danger and quickly twisted around, causing Adagio to instead, stab Pinkie in the shoulder.

Pinkie managed to kick Adagio off, as she quickly pulled the fat knife out of her leg and threw it to the ground. She then faced Adagio, who was now branding, a third pair of butterfly knives. At this point Pinkie finally snapped.

“Are you a mercenary, or a coward?” Pinkie asked. “A true fighter wouldn’t need weapons to win a fight. So if you are as dangerous as you say, why don’t you fight naturally?”

Adagio stood there for bit, before spinning her knives around in her hooves and quickly shoving them back into the slots on her boots. She then ran over to Pinkie and threw punch, Pinkie blocked, of course and threw her own punch. Adagio quickly dodge it and delivered a hook to the right side of Pinkie’s jaw, before following up with another hook to the left side of Pinkie’s jaws, before grabbing Pinkie by the throat again and smashing her face into Pinkie’s, her cybernetic implant providing more of an impact and throwing her a couple meters away. Pinkie slowly got back up, spitting a bit of blood out of her mouth, as Adagio jumped in the air. While still in the air, she did another cannonball down towards Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie reacted quickly, but rather than simply blocking the attack, she did a quick roundhouse kick and reflected Adagio like she was kicking a soccer ball, knocking Adagio right into a column, on the opposite side of the arena. Adagio slowly got back up still a bit dizzy, Pinkie quickly ran and did a shadow kick right into Adagio’s chest, completely sandwiching her between the column and Pinkie’s hind leg, causing Adagio to slowly slide back down. Adagio was defeated.

“Pinkie Pie Wins!” Trixie shouted, from her throne, as Pinkie put her glasses back on and blew a kiss towards the crowd. “Now… FINISH HER!”

Pinkie stood there, staring back at Trixie’s demand, she thought about it. Adagio was criminal, that seriously hurt one of her friends. She turned towards the beaten mercenary, Adagio was already defeated and put in about as much pain as Applejack was. Pinkie thought hard for bit, before turning a facing Trixie.

“I won’t kill her!” Pinkie shouted, before turning a walking out of the throne room, as well as everyone else.

All that remained in the throne, seemed to be Trixie Lulamoon. That is until a puff of smoke appeared next to her, before clearing up to reveal none other than Spike.

“So it’s the movie star, I’ll be fighting?” Spike asked.

“Appears so…” Trixie explained. “But not right now…. First I have another fight to settle.”

“What?” Spike asked.

“Don’t worry, your time will come...” Trixie explained. “First I have to rid that monk, Twilight Sparkle.”
