Author's Note

This is my first time making a fight scene so bash the hell out of but setting that aside i just want to say thank you for showing this abomination of a story support. I'm not going to lie when I started this story I had fully expected this to flop but instead I had actual people somehow liking it so again thank you it means alot to me ok enough of that as always bash me as hard as you can so I can get better peace.


This Is Fine

As the fighting began me and Thorax stood off to the sidelines watching as the other lings fought eachother with punches being thrown, spells being attempted and failing to be cast, meanwhile me and Thorax waited for the right moment.


"Alright so here's whats gonna happen, me and you, are gonna stand here and do nothing".

"Nothing?" Thorax questioned.

"Nothing at first, but, I have a solution to that." I said

"And that is?" Thorax questioned still confused

"For this to work you'll have to be on the floor pretending to be in pain before anyone notices us and then." I whispered the rest of the plan to him.

"WHAT!? That's never going to work". Thorax exclaimed

"It will trust me." I say reassuring

"No!" Thorax hissed out. "I may know I have no good ideas but that sounds even worse than anything I could come up with".

"Well I mean If you can miraculously come with an idea that is better than mine, that which I would like to point out, you yourself said wasn't very likely then by all means, Im all ears." I held out my hand next to my ears as I bent down a bit towards him.

"I just want to say that I do not like this plan at all" Thorax said as he pouted while laying down facing away from the fighting.

"Ehh you'll forgive me when it works." I said as I dismissed him with my hand. "Besides this will at least allow us to get the jump on an unsuspecting pair."

Thorax only grumbled as an response. As we were making small talk with him I would occasionally look back to see if any of the other Changelings around would notice us away from the fight going on.

Though it seems that one of the last times I glanced back I noticed that there were only about six pairs left with one starting to approach us. I grinned turning back to Thorax as I prepared to enact my plan, 'I always wanted to try this.'

I patted Thorax's side. "Showtime." I say with a grin splitting my face as Thorax looks up at me before sighing seeming resigned to what was about to happen.

Thorax nods as he starts to fake in pain, giving off an convincing groan as i start to pick him up and carry him, putting his arm over my shoulder.

As I turn back around to the pair approaching us I put on my best panicked act as I tried to sell my best worried panicking act.

"Please, help me! My brother is hurt!" As the pair approached us they started to slow down for a second appearing confused to my plea for help. 'Its now or never.' "Please get help! I Beg, HELP HIM!"

Caught off guard by my yelling and panicking I threw Thorax at the pair catching them by surprise, sending to the floor.

As they fell I circled around one of them to get a running start as I then came running back, kicking them as hard as I could In head as possible, thankfully, knocking one of them out.

As I turn around preparing to go help Thorax out I found out that he was more capable then I thought as I see the other changeling knocked out and Thorax panting out of breath.

"Wow, Thorax nice shit!" I say as I give him a slap on the back. Thorax blushed at the praise being directed towards him "T-thanks." His blush died down and adopted a more serious expression. "Were not done yet unfortunately." I nodded back at him as I turned around. "We got lucky not being noticed this far in but now we actually have to fight." As I say that the last pair started making their way over to us.

"Sooooo quick question how good are you at fighting?" I ask
.

"Thorax?"
I shift a bit to look at him and I see his black face somehow paling while his eyes were widened in fear towards the pair approaching us. Following where he eyes were looking I saw one of the Changelings approaching us was about as tall as me, maybe a bit taller with violet eyes and with red fin like appendages and tail glaring at Thorax like he wanted to kill him.. 'Wait violet eyes, a glare pointed at Thorax AND Thorax's afraid of him? That almost sounds li-' my eyes widened as I came to the conclusion of who this person could only be.

Pharynx

"Ohhh shiiit." I say as Thorax starts to panic

"I ca-, I cant beat my brother, oh what am I supposed to do, Joseph I don't know if I can do this." I grab him by his shoulders and shake him a bit "THORAX, Thorax, calm down."

" Joseph you don't understa-."
"Calm down, take a deep breath, and exhale ok just do that for right now, ok? Can you do that for me bud" Thorax albeit shakingly nods and starts to repeat the steps I told him to as he starts to calm down a bit. "Good, do you feel better?"

Thorax nodded "a bit, thank you."
I gave him a reassuring smile "Its ok, now since you seem really scared of that guy here's whats gonna happen I will fight him instead while you do your best against the other guy ok?" I say trying my best to reassure him

"OK, thank you for doing this for me, again" Thorax looking almost relieved and embarrased as this is another time I had helped him out.

I smiled "Of course what are friends for?" Thorax eyes widened as he opens his mouth only for whatever he was about to say to be cut off by a throat clearing near us.

Turning, we both face the noise as we see Pharynx and his partner with lime green eyes and mismatched color wings and a lime green fin looking tail.

Pharynx sneers at Thorax before looking both of us over. "So are we fighting or are we going to stand here like idiots in front of Queen Chrysalis twiddling our thumbs."

I pushed Thorax lightly towards the right in front of the other changeling " Yeah, we should so you'll be fighting me." Pharynx scowls at me for a moment before turning to Thorax then finally settling on me.

"Fine, doesn't make much of a difference to me, In fact, maybe I'll actually be able to have a real fight compared to your partner over there." I frown at the blatant disrespect towards Thorax meanwhile Thorax looked a bit upset at the comment.

"Well we should probably start since, like you said, don't want to look like idiots in front of 'Queen Chrysalis' right? So shut up, and let's fight." I say with a little anger directed to him

Pharynx eyes widened before narrowing them back at me looking even more pissed off. 'Probably shouldn't of pissed him off before were going to fight'.

As we got into position away from our partner we squared into half-assed fighting stances as we got ready to fight "Alright, are you ready?" Pharnyx just nodded to show he was. "OK on three one, two, THRE-JESUS."

Before I even finished counting to three Pharynx had already began to move sprinting at me at full force attempting to throw a left hook as I dodge only to get elbowed in the gut then punched in the face with his right.

Stumbling, I'm able to reorient myself as I'm able to catch his right leg only for him to kick me with his other leg causing my ears to ring a bit giving him enough time to get back up. 'Where the fuck did he even learn how to fight like this!?'

As he rushes me again I decide to stop defending and try to go on the offensive as I rush him too throwing a punch only for him to feint his punch as he shifts Into a side step kicking me in the stomach causing me to step back a couple of steps holding my stomach in pain.

I start to back up trying to make some distance as he slowly approaches me with a grin on his face, like a predator taking satisfaction in toying with his prey. I keep backing up as I feel back up against the wall taking a glance behind me to confirm I was indeed out of room, even more unfortunate as soon as it looked like my eye wasn't on him Pharynx sprinted at me closing the distance between us as he then throws a right hook aimed at my face.

Even though his punch hasnt landed yet something told me that if I got hit by this It would've been over but as I watched his fist approaching closer to my face in slow motion I started to get a really dumb idea 'But if it works than I'm taking full advantage of all it can offer me.'

Before Pharynx could land his punch I stepped as far right as I possibly could to get out of his range only knowing I succeeded by his cry of pain at punching the arena wall at full force.

'NOW!' Quickly taking advantage of the situation I grabbed his right arm with mine and the back of his head with my left one as I slammed his face into the arena wall as hard as I could forming a small crack within the wall. Then, not taking any chances I proceeded to make sure he was knocked out as I kicked his leg out from under him and without wasting anytime brought my hoof up and slammed it down on his face at full force.

I stood there for a good couple of seconds before I slowly brought my foot up and look down at his face as it was caked in green looking blood as he was clearly knocked out with his nose looking a bit caved in, shivering in disgust at how much i had managed to hurt him I only had one last thought on my mind. 'Thank God that worked.' as I finally passed out.
