Everfree forest
Dakota POV

Ok, so, it’s been two months since we’ve got here and made a “deal” with Celestia. By deal, I mean we pointed guns at her until she promised us that no mares would try to have there way with us until heat season was over. She stayed true to her word as only a few radar signatures popped up here and there, but were mainly just Pegasi flying next to the edge of the forest or flying right over top of it. None of them ever came within 5 miles of the castle cause they either didn't know that we were there, or cause the did know but they also knew that we had flak guns on the roof. I had been making major modifications to my truck ever since we got here and got rid of my 88mm borgwarner turbochargers for some much larger 101mm KeatingMachine turbochargers, I had experimented with my fuel/air mixture ratio, put in a bottle of NOS, installed a much bigger radiator to keep the engine cooler, replaced the glowplugs, retrofitted a supercharger in along side the turbos, put some massive industrial fuel injectors in, installed a stage 5 alison transmittion, stage 5 brakes, installed APR headstuds, further bored the cylinders, put in new pistons, a new differential, a lighter fly while, a massive cold air intake, and a stronger drive line. Kendall and trevor had been shit talking my ford ever since I put my first moddifications on it they keep saying that their "other trucks" could beat mine. I decided to put that theory to the test.

Kendall had recently bought a lightly used 2017 ram 3500 with low miles on it. Trevors dad had actually bought him an "unused" 2015 chevy silverado 3500 lml duramax litteraly the day before I disappeared to replace his 2014 avalanche. they were still no match for my 2018 F350 though. I mean come on, Cummins and Duramax just don't have anything to offer that prove they are better than Powerstroke. I challenged them to a dually contest next week on im done working my truck next week and they accepted the challange. I summoned their trucks from earth and they appeared in the courtyard. Summoning things from earth that large really sucks the energy out of me though and gives me such a headache as well afterwards. Their trucks had been sitting there now for 2 days and they were doing work to them just like was. I had given Kendall my old turbos and pulled a set of similar borgwarners out of my tool box and gave them to trevor. If we were going to have a contest to see which truck company is the best, Its gotta be an even match. Their trucks were going to match my specs so its a fair fight for all of us. I would have to continue to pull stuff out of my tool box to give to them so that their trucks had the same parts as mine until I had pulled out everything that they would need for their trucks.

2 days later

I had finished putting all of the new parts on my truck and was helping Kendall and Trevor with their trucks. They were both almost done, They just had to rehook up all of the cables and other things. I had to help them install the same lift kit that I had since that would put me at a disadvantage if i didn't. Most people don't realize that lifted trucks have a worse turning radius and are more likely to roll over if taking a turn too fast or turning while going downhill. I had to show them how to work the airbags with the lift kit as well since they weren't used to driving this high off the ground. Kendall had finished up everything on his truck we were now just waiting on trevor to finish. He had to wire in the controler, compressors, and pumps for the airbags to use them and seeing as how he doesn't know how to handle exposed wires to save his life, I had to help him with that as well. I don't blame him since most people just go to a professional to have this type of thing done. "Finally done. Your Shitverado is ready to go T." I told him. "It can still pull more than your Powerjoke that you drive everyday." He countered. "Are you sure about that? Last I checked, Chevy's couldn't pull anything without greatly stressing the engine." I responded. "Both of yall sounded like an old married couple. Yall got shit trucks so I don't know why you guys are trying to flex on eachother when Ive got the best truck. Ram's are built to last." Kendall Added in. "You've got 6 cylinders in your engine block! you can't be talking. The name of your engine also sounds like a sex pun as well." I replied.

I told them if they want to put their money where their mouths, Then we can kick this shit off right now. They both agreed as we all got into our trucks. I was first to start my Powerstroke engine, Trevor then started his LML duramax, and finally Kendall started his Cummins. We then pulled out of the courtyard and made our way to a clearing that I discovered on the way here when we were flying the skycranes here. Thats where we would do this. It was a fifteen minute drive from the castle to the clearing, but once we got there, we had all of the room we needed to do this, more than enough actually. I had guessed that this clearing was at least a half mile wide in all directions. There was a set of train tracks at the east edge of the clearing that ran through the forest to the north, Most likely towards Ponyville. "Alright ladies, since you think your puny little 6.7s can take on a manly 7.3, How about we kick things off with a race?" I said into my cb radio. "Now thats where your asking to get your ass kicked, I will leave both of your asses behind me." Kendall replied. "Hey, Fatass, Did you forget that you only have 6 cylinders while we've got 8?" Trevor responded to him. "You two can have your little argument, I'm gonna go mark a finish line real quick." I said. I drove to the north edge of the clearing and pulled out a set of warning triangles from my truck and placed them both 20 feet apart from eachother 40 yards away from the edge.

"Alright ladies, Get ready. When I blow the horn 3 times, Go." I said. Giving the signal, I took my foot off the brake since I already had the accelerator floored and took off flying. Trevor was mannaging to keep up with me for a short time until I entered 4th gear, Thats when I started to pull away from him I was the first to finish with Kendall and trevor both barely tieing together for second. Powerstroke 1, Duramax 0, Cummins 0. After grabbing the warning triangles, We then decided to see who could climb better. There was an artificial mound at the south end of the clearing that had to be at least 50 feet high. This time I let them go first. Kendall had actually managed to make it to the top, Trevor got up about 47 feet before he couldnt go anymore, Then it was my turn. I turned off my traction control and got ready to launch. I made it to the top as well, although with a decent bit of difficulty since my truck was heavier. Powerstroke 2, Duramax 0, Cummins 1. Now things get interesting. We would see who could do a donut or burnout the best. Watching trevor have to do a burnout in reverse was both impressive and embarrasing at the sime time. The fact that he couldn't do it in drive made me question why he was wasting money on chevy in the first place. Kendall managed to do a pretty decent 50 foot running burnout. "Alright Mr.Powerjoke, now its your turn." Kendall shouted at me. I decided to do a figure 8 around them just to show off which seemed to piss them off. Powerstroke 3, Duramax 1, Cummins 2. Now onto the final part, The towing test. I gave both of them 2 towing ropes each and watched them pull stuff. Trevor had pulled down some pretty big trees and kendall pulled both of us hooked together with our parking brakes on.

I decided to do something that they would never expect, I got on the train tracks and drove south for about 10 minutes until I saw what I has hoping to see. "Bingo" was all that ran through my mind. I grabbed my towing rope and got to hooking up my truck.

"Where the hell is he? Did he pussy off or something?" Trevor asked. "I don't know, What you asking me for? I don't know if he quit or not." I replied to him. I could hear an engine roaring in the distance getting closer. I could see a plume of black smoke up above the tree tops slowly moving closer to us as well. "Wait, Did he, HOW THE FUCK!?" Was all I shouted as I saw him come back into sight pulling something I thought impossible to pull in general. "CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS!!" He shouted. Dakota was pulling a train, A goddamn train of all things! He was pulling a 200 ton peice of machinery along at 35MPH like it was nothing! "Did you boys have fun playing with your Tonka trucks? I told you powerstroke was the best!" he shouted.

Dakota POV

Looking at their dumbfounded faces was enough to tell me that they were speechless by this. I knew that they weren't expecting me to pull a train and make asses out of them. They lost the bet and they knew it, They both now owed me 300 dollars each. Powerstroke 4, Duramax 2, Cummins 3.

I unhooked from the train and got my towing ropes back from them and we started to go back to the castle. I knew that they were still pissed off and i knew that they were going to be for a while. Thats why you don't mess with a Powerstroke.
