GLADIATORS

THE NEXT DAY, PONYVILLE TRAIN STATION, AROUND 3:00 PM

Twilight and Sunset finally reached the town of Ponyville, they were brimming with optimism for they believed that their future teammates were right around the corner.

They were also really uncomfortable, due to the train ride, and many other mishaps in the way to town

“Oh, fucking finally,” said Sunset as she got out of the train with her backpack

“A 6-hour trip, man I’ve never hated sitting down so bad,” said Twilight

“Not to mention that this is the new bullet train, so it was faster than usual,” said Sunset as she did some leg stretching

“Well, at least we’re here, now, where should we go to look for gladiators?” asked Twilight as she finished her stretching

“Right this way, the arena is… right… down… the street” said Sunset as her eyes made contact with the town

“I thought you said this was a small town, with a small arena,” said Twilight

“It was, at least 5 years ago, I didn’t expect it to change this much,” said Sunset

“Well, let’s go, the bigger the arena, the bigger the chances of getting new teammates,” said Twilight as she walked towards the arena

2 HOURS LATER OUTSIDE THE ARENA

“Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle and I’m looking for new gladiators to join Canterlot’s team, are you interested?” said Twilight to a pair of male gladiators

“Sorry miss, but I belong to the Ponyville Gladiator’s guild, and I don’t think you can pay my salary,” said one of them

“Same here, but thanks,” said the other as the two of them walk away

A few feet away Sunset Shimmer was going through the same crisis

“Hi, would you like to join the Canterlot gladiator’s team?” she said

“Sorry, I’m not a gladiator,” said a woman

“I already belong to the guild,” said another woman

“I’m pregnant,” said another

“The three of us already have a team, but thank you,” said a group of male gladiators

After a few more minutes Twilight and Sunset Shimmer gave up and decided to call it a day

“I don’t get it, I thought there were going to be many gladiators here begging to join the team,” said Twilight

“Maybe we just have to change our approach,” said Sunset

“What do you mean?” asked Twilight

“Look around, can you see what’s catching everyone’s attention

Twilight looked around, she first landed her gaze on a group of girls who were giving out pamphlets, they were all surrounded by males trying to get a pamphlet.

Then she looked at the other side and saw a cafe filled to the brim with female gladiators and civilians, the reason for that was that most of the waiters in that cafe were males

And lastly Twilight looked at a store right behind them, there was a male and a female gladiator outside the entrance promoting the store, and the content it sold.

“So, see anything helpful?” asked Sunset

“I see many people interested in spending money in cafes and stores but, other than that I don’t,” said Twilight

“Yes, yes they are, but, what lures them to the store?” asked Sunset

“A good advertising campaign,” said Twilight

“Yes, Twilight, a good advertising campaign, but there is something else, can you see what it is?” asked Sunset

Twilight looked again and noticed what the people were wearing

“You mean the costumes?” said Twilight

“EXACTLY! The costumes, what about them?” said Sunset

“WHAT about them?” asked Twilight getting confused

“They are sexy and revealing, and that is attracting attention,” said Sunset

Twilight added the dots in her head and turned bright red

“DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, I AM NOT GOING TO PUT ON ONE OF THOSE MAID OUTFITS OR SWIMSUITS OR EVEN THAT TYPE OF OVER-REVEALING ARMOR TO GET TEAMMATES!” said Twilight

“Oh, why not?” asked Sunset

“I’m not going to degrade myself to do that, plus I want reliable teammates, not some hormone driven brute that might rape both you and me,” said Twilight

“Oh, that’s why I thought you just didn’t have enough confidence for those outfits,” said Sunset

“What no, and anyway, those type of clothes don’t look good on me,” said Twilight

“What are you talking about?... oh, if you’re still angry about my comment from yesterday don’t be, you now have the boobs to make me take it back,” said Sunset as she grabbed Twilight’s boobs taking her by surprise

“Hey, stop that, don’t touch me there,” said Twilight

“Why your body seems to like it,” said Sunset teasing Twilight even more

“I don’t swing that way,” said Twilight

“I know, me neither, I just like to tease you, you make the cutest face when you’re aroused,” said Sunset

“You’re the worst,” said Twilight finally getting free from Sunset’s grasp

Unknown to them their little talk had attracted a lot of attention from passersby, but they had all went back to their business as soon as Twilight freed herself from Sunset

“Well, that was fun, but what do you say we go find a hotel to stay the night, or at least a cafe or a restaurant to eat something?” said Sunset

“Yeah, I’ll just call Princess Celestia to tell her where we are,” said Twilight

Unknown to them 2 female gladiators had overheard their “offer” and decided to stay around until they were finished doing it.

The 2 female gladiators got up from the bench they were seating in and walked over to where Twilight and Sunset were standing; they made their way to them without making a sound, and when they got within arm’s length, one of them extended her arm

“Hi, there!” said one of them

This made both Twilight and Sunset jump, and Twilight almost dropped her cellphone

“Don’t… ever… do that again,” said Sunset as she caught her breath

“Oh, sorry, My name is Lyra Heartstring, and this is my friend Sweety Drops,” said the Gladiator with light cyan, shoulder-length hair.

“Hi, you can call me Bon Bon, it’s easier to remember than Sweety drops,” said the other gladiator with long Moderate cobalt blue with very light fuchsia stripes hair

“Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle, I’m a third division gladiator from Canterlot, and this is…” said Twilight

“We know who the two of you are,” said Lyra

“Really?” asked Sunset

“Yup, Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia’s apprentice, and you are Sunset Shimmer, trainer extraordinaire, you hold the record for the most consecutive highschool gladiator team tournament victories, believe it or not, you’re considered a legend here in Ponyville High,” said Bon Bon

“That’s, Interesting,” said Sunset

“Hey, you two, seem familiar, I think I’ve seen you before,” said Twilight

“Well duh, we were classmates in Canterlot academy, we were even in the same class,” said Lyra

“Oh, so that’s why,” said Twilight

“What are you doing here?” asked Sunset

“We live here, plus we’re also second division Gladiators here in Ponyville,” said Bon Bon

“Cool, by the way, are the 2 of you interested in joining Canterlot’s new Gladiator team?” asked Twilight

The 2 of them went silent for a few seconds

“That’s Why we came to talk to you,” said Bon Bon

“Come with us, it’s not a good idea to have this talk in public, plus, I bet you girls want to eat something,” said Lyra as she and Bon Bon walked away with Twilight and Sunset in tow.

A FEW MINUTES LATER

“Here we are, Sugarcube Corner, the best cafe in town,” said Lyra as she opened the door and walked in followed by Bon Bon, Twilight, and Sunset

“Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, my name is Carrot Cake, what would you like to order?” asked the man behind the counter

“I’ll take a Long John, and a vanilla smoothie, please,” said Lyra

“A caramel Latte,” said Bon Bon

“I would like a combo #3,” said Twilight

“Excellent choice ma’am, would you like pickles in your sandwich?” asked Carrot Cake

“No, thank you,” said Twilight

“I will take, a combo #10,” said Sunset

“Alright, will that be the Sandwich and the Footlong or the 2 burger option?” asked Carrot Cake

“The 2 Burger’s please, and may I change my drink to Vitamin water?” asked Sunset

“Absolutely, what flavor would you like?” asked Carrot Cake

“Acai, pomegranate, and Blueberry, please,” said Sunset

“Marvellous, take a seat and we will take your order to you, the total will be $23.68, will that be cash, debit or credit?” said Carrot cake

“We’ll pay for our orders individually,” said Bon Bon

“Very well,” said Carrot Cake

After paying for their food, Lyra, Bon Bon, Twilight and Sunset, walked over to a booth and sat down

“SO what is what you wanted to tell us?” asked Sunset

“Well, we overheard what your intentions were, and we thought we had to stop you,” said Lyra

“Intentions?” asked Twilight

“The whole exhibitionist idea,” said Bon Bon

“Oh no, we weren’t gonna go through with it,” said Sunset “That was just me teasing Twilight here,”

“Oh, good, you wouldn’t like that type of attention, trust me,” said Lyra

“This place has changed,” said Sunset

“What do you mean?” asked Bon Bon

“5 years ago I came to this town to try my luck in the arena, the town wasn’t this big, and the arena wasn’t that interesting to boot,” said Sunset

“Yeah, three years ago, everything changed,” said Lyra

“Really, how?” asked Twilight

“Three years ago, 2 brothers Flim Skin and Flam, came to this town, and they decided to invest in the arena and various businesses of the town, their investments actually made the town way more popular, at one point last year, this town registered over $10 Billion in tourism alone,” said Bon Bon

“Wow, that’s the amount of money that is spent in Canterlot a day,” said Twilight

“Are you worried that their investment is just a way to do money laundry?” said Sunset

“At first yes, but then, we all found out that these guys owned a very big and important sales company, plus various resorts in Las Pegasus,” Said Bon Bon

“They said in an interview that their investment in the town was for 2 main reasons: One, this town had the potential for commerce, it just needed a little help,” said Lyra

“Well, that “little” help paid off,” said Sunset

“But that doesn’t explain the Arena,” said Twilight

“And, Two: when they were kids, they wanted to be gladiators, but their bodies were not meant for that type of exercise,” said Lyra

“Tragic,” said Sunset sarcastically

“Well, they came here and dumped over $300 million in the arena, remodeling it completely, changing the light system, the booths, they even added massive Jumbotrons inside the place,” said Bon Bon

“Not to mention, the Whirlpools, hot tubs, and saunas, for the gladiators,” said Lyra

“Wow, now that is an improvement,” said Sunset

“Yeah, it’s nice, it’s like a 5-star hotel for gladiators only,” said Bon Bon

“So, going back to the proposal?” said Twilight

“Oh yeah, that was another thing,” said Lyra

“You two are wasting your time, no one is going to want to join the Canterlot team, at least not on their own free will;,” said Bon Bon

“Why do you say that?” asked Twilight

“Well, ever since the renewal of this town’s arena, many guilds and associations were created, now there is even a Ponyville Gladiator team, to compete in the nationals,” said Lyra

“And unfortunately, we’re both members of that team,” said Bon Bon

“Oh, come on, is there someone in this town, that would like to be a gladiator for Canterlot that doesn’t belong to a guild?!” said Twilight in exasperation

“We’re not saying that there aren’t any, it’s just going to be hard to find someone,” said Lyra

“Yeah, and even if you do find someone, you have to be careful, many men down here are kind of pervs, and it’s kind of the same for some women, heck there is even a team down here called “The Ponyville Succubus,” said Bon Bon

“Or the “Ponyville Galants” man I hate those jerks,” said Lyra

“Here is your food ladies, hope you enjoy,” said a female waiter

“Thank you,” they said as they started to eat

Twilight, Sunset, Lyra, and Bon Bon, talked a little longer about the town before it got late

“If you need a place to sleep, you can go to the Ponyville hotel, it’s a 3-star hotel, but is affordable and clean,” said Lyra

“Thanks for the advice,” said Sunset

“Well, see you girls around, and if we know of someone, or you need our help, contact us,” said Bon Bon as they left

“Well, let’s head over to the hotel and get a room,” said Sunset

“Yeah, do you know where it is?” asked Twilight

“Yup, using Maps, I can tell you that… this hotel is… just across from the arena,” said Sunset showing twilight her phone’s screen

“Oh, how convenient,” said Twilight

“Yeah, come on, let’s go,” said Sunset as she and Twilight started to walk towards the hotel

Unknown to them, someone or something was watching from the shadows

The hotel was about 5 miles away from where Twilight and Sunset were standing, and to get there they had to cross through the Arena square, which wasn’t really terrifying since it was really well-lit and surrounded by a beautiful garden.

Twilight and Sunset started walking threw the gardens quietly

When they were about halfway across the garden, Sunset said

“Say, Twilight,”

“Yeah,” said Twilight

“It’s really windy around here, isn’t it?” Sunset said “Someone is following us,” is what she said between the lines

“Really windy, it gives this place a very nice aura,” said Twilight “Yeah, let’s lure him in”

And with that Sunset and Twilight decided to sit down in one of the benches and felt the “breeze”

Sunset and Twilight remained silent waiting for the figure to come closer but after a few minutes, they realized that it wasn’t planning to, so they came up with an idea.

“It’s a very nice town, we should come back with our boyfriends sometime,” said Sunset
“It’s hiding behind the big tree, go get it,”

“Your right, I’m sure Pharrow will love this place,” said Twilight
“How I’m I supposed to do that?”

“Ah yes, Pharrow, really like this type of things, you must be a very proud mother,” said Sunset
“Use a body double and invisibility, but be careful, time it properly,”

“Yup, he’s my little angel, the light of my world,” said Twilight
“Ok, here goes nothing, get ready for a fight,”

And with that Twilight used her magic and managed to time everything perfectly, she got up and walked towards the figure, which was now in a branch of the tree.

She climbed up to the figure, and when she was close enough, she shoved the figure off the branch

At the same time, Sunset Shimmer jumped off the bench and pinned the figure to the ground

“Well done Twi, now let’s make sure he’s not carrying any type of weapons,” Said Sunset as she started to check the figure but was interrupted by a voice

“For the record, I’m not a HE, I’m a SHE,” said the figure and with that, she turned around and removed her hood

“You?!” said Sunset

“You’re the girl from Sugarcube corner,” said Twilight

“Yup, my name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, but you can call me Pinkie Pie, or just Pinkie, it’s easier,” said the girl as she got up from the ground

"Why were you following us?" Asked Twilight

"Oh, that, I overheard your conversation with Lyra and Bon Bon while sweeping the floor, and taking your food to the table, and I wanted to ask if I could join" said Pinkie

"Why didn't you come to talk to us in person?" Asked Sunset

"I thought it would be more fun this way," said Pinkie with a big smile

"Well she's a weird one," said Sunset

"I'm not weird, this is weird," said Pinkie as she held up her hand with a piece of cloth

"How did she," though Sunset

"Is that a G-string?" Asked Twilight

"Yup, your friend…" started Pinkie but she was interrupted by Sunset

"HAHAHAHA, oh Lyra and Bon Bon, they're quite the pranksters," she said

"Oh, funny, I didn't know Lyra and Bon Bon liked pranking people," said Pinkie

"Well apparently they do," said Sunset getting angry and snatching the G-string from Pinkie

"Anyway, you said you wanted to join us right?" Said Twilight

"Yeah, ever since I was little I've wanted to be a gladiator, but my parents and siblings told me that was never gonna happen and that I should stay at the farm, but then I turned 18 and decided to go and try my luck, but it didn't work at first," said Pinkie

"Wow so this would be your second chance?" Asked Twilight

"Nah, it would be my 2...10...20...it'll be my 36th chance," said Pinkie with a smile

Sunset and Twilight looked at Pinkie with disbelief

"Well… what position do you usually take?" Asked Sunset

"I'm fast, so I go as a winger, but I can also play as a tanker… strong arms," said Pinkie

"Ok then, just let us talk for a second about it," said Twilight as she and Sunset Shimmer turned around

"What do you think?" Asked Twilight

"Well she can play in three positions considering that she can also play as a winger tank, but… well beggars can't be choosers,"said Sunset

"Ok, welcome aboard," said Twilight

"YAAAAAY!" Said Pinkie

Twilight then pulled out a contract and a registration chart

"Before I sign, may I ask you gals a question?" Asked Pinkie

Twilight and Sunset looked at her

"What are the rules for this again?" Said Pinkie

Twilight and Sunset turned pail

"You do have prior experience in the business right?" Asked Sunset

"Does high school teams count?" Asked Pinkie

"We need help," they both said

THE NEXT MORNING IN A FIELD OUTSIDE TOWN

"So, Pinkie Pie is your new reinforcement?" Said Lyra

"Yeah, she stalked us last night and then begged us to join," said Sunset

"Not to mention I also discovered your prank," said Pinkie

"What prank?" Asked Bon Bon

"The G…" started Pinkie

"Irrelevant!" Interrupted Sunset, her face bright red

"So what's the problem?" Asked Bon Bon

"Well, she has potential, but…" began Twilight

"She lacks experience?" Asked Lyra

"Well, yeah, she doesn't even know the rules," said Twilight

"Well, each type of battle has different rules, the only one that doesn't change is: don't kill anyone, unless it's a deathmatch," said Lyra "but they no longer exist," she finished

"There are 3 main fight types, 1) Man to man, 2) Tactical or as we call it chess, and 3) Capture the flag/crown," said Bon Bon

“Each of them have different rules, in a man to man fight, you aren’t allowed to use real bullets, sharpened blades, or metals for that matter, and don’t get me started about glass, second, you can’t really hit anyone between the legs, or in the head/neck, region, now this rule also has a loophole, since you can cause your rival to hit his head by themselves, and that way it counts,” said Lyra

“In the tactical fights, you aren’t allowed to kill anyone, which means, no real weapons, no deadly punches or choke holds, other than that, the battle ends when you corner the captain, take out the whole team, or they surrender,” said Bon Bon

“And lastly, we have Capture the flag/crown, in these competition you have to follow the same rules as above, the not killing ones, other than that, you win the game only, and only, when you can capture the enemy’s flag/crown, and defend it successfully until the time runs out,” said Lyra

Lyra and Bon Bon then continued to tell Pinkie every single rule for gladiator fighting and even gave her tips on how to fight better.

“Ok got it,” said Pinkie as she finished writing everything down in a notebook

“Ok, Twilight, Sunset, that’s as much as we can do for a theory class,” said Lyra

“Actually girls, I wanted to ask you for another favor,” said Twilight

“And what’s that?’ asked Bon Bon

“Well, she might know the theory, but we still don’t know what she is capable of, so…” said Twilight

“So you want us to do a mock battle until you girls can feel compatible with her or discover her true potential?” said Lyra

“Well, yes… is that imposing too much?” asked Twilight

“Not really Twilight, we were hoping you’d ask us to do that,” said Bon Bon

“But you guys are…” began Sunset

“Down a member, don’t worry we have it covered,” said Lyra

“Really, how?” asked Twilight

“3...2...1,” Bon Bon and Lyra said at the same time

“LOOK OUT BELOW!!! WATCH OUT! AAAAAAAAH!” they heard a female voice scream from above.

Everyone moved out of the way just as a dash of grey crashed landed in front of them creating a massive crater

“Woohoo! Aced that landing,” said the girl

“Actually Muffins, landing with your face and getting up fast doesn't mean you aced a landing,” said Bon Bon

“Really?” said Muffins

“Who is she?” asked Twilight

“Oh, Twilight, Sunset, Pinkie, meet Muffins, or Derpy as we call her, she is our teams best winger-tank, and paladin,” said Lyra

“Hi, nice to meet you all, my name is Muffins, but you can call me Derpy Hooves, I like muffins,” said Derpy

“So you brought her here to make a three a side fight? Clever,” said Sunset

“Yeah, but just because your our friends doesn’t mean we’ll go easy on you,” said Bon Bon

“I would hate it if you did,” said Twilight

“Hey! I have a question, how do you…” began Sunset

“Know what you’re going to say? Well…” began Lyra

“Because you’ve already been through the same thing before and both Twilight and Sunset are really predictable with their actions?” said Pinkie pie

“Yeah, pretty much,” said Bon Bon

“Anyway, let’s get into position,” said Derpy

“Right, let’s go tactical,” said Twilight

“OK then, I’ll create the surroundings,” said Lyra as she started to use magic to modify the surroundings

“Oh, by the way Twilight, these will be our lineup,” said Bon Bon

Lyra 87 OVR

Bon Bon 88 OVR Derpy 89 OVR

“Ok, their lineup is fairly normal, not many determining factors, and easy to penetrate and attack, this will be our lineup,” said Twilight

Sunset Shimmer 85 OVR

Twilight Sparkle 86 OVR

Pinkie Pie - OVR

“Ok, Sunset you attack Bon Bon, I’ll take care of Lyra, and Pinkie you will take care of derpy,” said Twilight

“Ok,” they all said

“Are you ready Twilight?” asked Derpy

“Yeah, we’re ready!” said Twilight “ready to win,”

“OK, 3...2...1… GO!” said Lyra

“Let’s do this,” said Sunset as she dashed forward full speed

“Hey there,” said Bon Bon

“Bon Bon?! What are you doing here?” asked Sunset

“Fighting you dummy,” she said and then she punched Sunset in the stomach knocking here out

Twilight was running close by and noticed this

“What?! But if Bon Bon is there, then where’s…?” she began

“No time to think Twilight,” said Derpy as she dived down and kicked Twilight in the stomach creating a big crater when she impacted the ground

“Well, only you’re left,” said Lyra as she, Bon Bon and Derpy walked over to Pinkie Pie

“I surrender,” she said

“Well, that was fun, what do you girls think? Same Time tomorrow?” said Lyra

Pinkie just nodded “I’ll tell them when they wake up, thanks again for the help,” said Pinkie as the girls walked away

A FEW HOURS LATER

“Ouch, what the heck happened?” asked Twilight

“We had our asses handed to us by Lyra and her team,” said Pinkie

“Oh, just great,” said Sunset

“Yup, they also asked me to tell you that, we will be meeting here tomorrow at the same time,” said Pinkie

“Really, that’s great, can this day get any better?” asked Sunset sarcastically

“Well, I did made sure that they didn’t stuff anymore G-strings into your backpack, and I am happy to say, I succeeded,” said Pinkie proudly

Sunset just stood there with her face bit red

“Ok, I’m heading to the hotel I have to think of a better way to beat them, a new strategy,” said Twilight as she walked away followed by Sunset

“Ok, see you tomorrow,” said Pinkie pie as she walked the other way

For the next week Twilight, Sunset and Pinkie, fought against Lyra and her team, in every type of fight category, and every single time they had their asses handed to them, even Pinkie had been knocked out more times that she could count with her hands

“Well, tomorrow is the last day we will be able to help you girls, the pre-season begins on Monday, so we have no more free time,” said Lyra

“Bye girls,” said Bon Bon as they all walked away

“I just don’t get it, I've used every strategy I know, heck I even modified them to give us more options, but none of them worked," said Twilight as they walked back to the city

"Well, you'll come up with something," said Sunset

"I know I still don't have a place in the team, but I hate to say it, your tactics don't work," said Pinkie

"Geez, thanks for the vote of confidence," said Twilight

"I don't mean it that way, it's just that, your tactics are way too… predictable, even I could figure out the outcome before it even happened, " said Pinkie

"So, wait, you knew you were going to be knocked out, and still let it happen?" Asked Sunset

"No, I knew I was going to get hurt, so I was kind of ready for it, very different," said Pinkie

Sunset and Pinkie then began to argue in the background, but Twilight froze up, the wheels started turning in her head

"Hang on a minute, didn't Pinkie say the same thing when Sunset asked the girls how they knew what we were gonna say, and then Pinkie said that they had been through these drills before, but how… OH MY GOD," thought Twilight "I KNOW HOW THEY'RE DEFEATING US EVERY TIME!" She said

"How?" Both Sunset and Pinkie asked

"Lyra and Bon Bon were our classmates at the academy, remember?" Asked Twilight

"Oh yeah," said Sunset

"So?" Asked Pinkie

"So, they received the same training we did, under Mr. Sharpshooter," said Twilight

"Oh yeah, I remember that, but what of it?" Asked Sunset

"Remember the only thing I was bad at during the academy?" Asked Twilight

"Apart from creating long lasting friendly relationships?" Asked Sunset

"Yes, apart of that," said Twilight angrily

"Nope!" Said Sunset

"I was bad at improvising tactics, and remember what Mr. Sharpshooter said about that," said Twilight

"A field general who is too predictable is as good as a liability and a failure," said Twilight and Sunset at the same time

"I know how to defeat them now," said Twilight

THE NEXT DAY

"Last chance Twilight, better learn something," said Lyra

"Oh don't worry I did," said Twilight

"GO!!!!!" Screamed Bon Bon

Lyra, Bon Bon, and Derpy ran full speed towards Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie, who were all doing the same

Before Twilight and Bon Bon clashed, Twilight quickly used on of her spells to create a very thick cloud of mist, successful blinding the girls

"Now!" She screamed

And the girls changed positions

"I know what you're doing Twilight, it won't work," said Bon Bon as she launched punched forward hitting air

"Maybe, maybe not, I'm not as smart as Twilight, the only thing I do know is that, my name is Pinkie pie," said Pinkie pie as she kicked Bon Bon in the back and sent her flying towards rock, hitting her head against and passing out

"Clever, use the most to blind us and then attack our blindspots, well that won't help you against me, I don't have a blindspot," said Derpy

Then her nose picked up on something, the sweet sugary smell, of a freshly baked muffin.

"Most resist the temptation, smell you won't defeat me, I don't care if you're a freshly baked, chocolate chip muffin, which happens to be my favorite," she said but then her stomach started to rumble

"I knew I should've eaten lunch before coming," she said

Derpy then looked at the muffin and said "Oh fuck it," and she lunged at the muffin gobbling it up in a second

"You lose, Derpy," said Sunset stepping from behind the rock

"Well, I surrender," she said

MEANWHILE

"Gotta handed to ya Twilight, I'm impressed, I never thought of something like this, and we were in the same division, maybe this is why you were Sharpshooter's favorite, but you forgot something, I can counter this attack," said Lyra as she used her horn to create light, the she noticed Twilight's shadow "There you are," she said as she lunged at her, but going right through her "WHAT?! HOW ARE YOU SO FAST?!" she screamed

She turned and noticed Twilight's shadow again and lunged going through her again, and she continued to do this for a few more minutes, before she ran out of air.

"Where… where are you?" Asked Lyra

"Right behind you," said Twilight

Lyra turned just to be met with Twilight's fiat in her head

"WE WON!!!!!" they all screamed giving each other a high five and a hug

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Lyra and her team started to come around

"How did you…?" began Bon Bon

"Know? The same way you did, I studied my enemy," said Twilight

"How?" Asked Lyra

"Well, it's all thanks to Pinkie Pie actually, she made me realize what you were doing, and even helped me be… unpredictable, " said Twilight

"But what about the fog?" Asked Derpy

"Oh that, it was something that Mr. Sharpshooter once told me, if you're ever in a disadvantage, the set a trap, and it worked perfectly," said Twilight

"Well this means that our job here is done, good luck with team making," said Lyra

"Yeah, let's fight again soon, for real this time," said Bon Bon as everyone gave themselves a hug and said their goodbyes

"Ok Pinkie, time for you to sign the contract," said Sunset

"Already did," said Pinkie

Twilight and Sunset looked at the contract and then back at Pinkie

"When?" They both asked

"The night we met, a week ago, I even fielded out the other form, " she said said

Name Age Height Measurements position

Twilight Sparkle 27 5’7” (1.68M) 37 - 28 - 40 Field General
Sunset Shimmer 27 5’9” (1.75M) 39 - 31 - 40 Paladin
Pinkie Pie 27 5’8” (1.72M) 40 - 31 - 42 Winger/Tank

“She is a weird one,” They both thought

“So, where to?” asked Pinkie

“I… have no idea,” said Twilight

“If I may suggest something, seeing the lineup you came up with, I think that our best chance of getting another winger is to go to Cloudsdale, they love their speed over there,” said Pinkie

Twilight and Sunset looked at each other and said “Cloudsdale here we come!”
