My Little Deathmatch

Applejack vs. Cherry Berry!

“Now looky here, little missy. I don’t know who you think you are, but you ain’t gettin’ a dime outa me!” Applejack shouted, lowering her hat and gritting her teeth.

“As if I’d accept your dirty money anyway”! Cherry Berry retorted with a snarl.

“Gimme them cherries!”

They each snarled at one another, then locked eyes, a deep red glow emanating from within.

Applejack charged Cherry, her powerful hooves kicking up dirt as she ran. The pink earth pony jumped backwards and braced herself. "Gimme all you got!"

Applejack grinned and sprang forward, her hard, toned muscles holding strong as she crashed into the pink mare. The two tumbled across the ground, a cloud of dust in their wake. Applejack's hat fell behind and her mane came undone.

As the rolling stopped, Applejack found herself on top of Cherry Berry, and she lifted her front leg above her head.

"You're goin' down now! Ya hear?!" She slammed her strong hoof into the mare's face, and lifted it again.

Cherry quickly shielded herself from another blow, and her arm took the hit. Applejack smacked her hoof away and pinned it down with her own. With a smirk, she slammed her forehead into Cherry's muzzle.

Applejack stood up and grabbed her hat while Cherry rolled across the dirt. The pink mare stumbled to her hooves and began scurrying away, disoriented.

"Hey, where ya goin'?" Applejack laughed as she pulled a lasso out from behind a tree.

Cherry continued wobbly dizzily towards a clearing in the trees. Applejack twirled her lasso and flung it over Cherry's neck, snapping her head back and yanking her to the ground. With the rope tightly grasped in her mouth, the strong mare began dragging Cherry across the dirt, back into the opening, choking her as she did so.

"Those cherries are as good as mine." Jumping up on her front legs, Applejack slammed every ounce of her weight onto Cherry's face with her back hooves, snapping the mare's neck.

Applejack turned around to admire her work, then a large black plume of smoke spiraled around her. From the center emerged Discord, laughing and twirling around the smoke.

"Ahhhahaa. Brilliant! I knew I couldn't count you out so easily." He flew around her, coiling her body like a snake, rubbing a claw across her haunches. "You're such a strong mare, Applejack. I'm sure you'll go pretty far in this little game of ours."

"Wha?! I ain't playin' no games!" Applejack shouted.

"Oh, yes you are... yes you are..." Discord chuckled and disappeared into the dust, only his voice remaining. "Our winner here, is Applejack."
