Tournament of the Wraiths

Round 2: The Flame Vs. The Storm

As O’Leary strutted into view, ponies went wild. His fame at the bar got many drunks to spread word in his favor to other towns, so when he woke up yesterday and found out about the contest he simply couldn’t refuse. ‘The Man of a Hundred Pints’ and ‘The Irish King’ among other titles were on banners that littered the sides of the arena.

Across the arena, Tech walked onto the battlefield with determination written on his face. Ponies had just as many banners for him as there were for O’Leary. Most ponies that were rooting for him had some form of hipster garb and hair styles on them. There were even a couple of griffons and minotaurs cheering for him.

O'Leary vs. Tech

Rebel 1, Action!

(O'Leary vs Tech Theme)

O’Leary raised his hand and made a motion towards Tech, “You ready lad, or you need time to prepare?”

Tech cracked his neck and smirked, “Just waiting on you old man.”

O’Leary raised his pistols, “Oh good, I’ve been ready.” He fired off two rounds and Tech dodged before running up to O’Leary punching at his chest. O’Leary stumbled back, dazed as Tech drew his fist back and punched him in the stomach sending him flying into the wall.

Tech stood waiting for the smoke to clear. “That all ya got?”

O’Leary stumbled out of the smoke, “God damn you hit like the Fae!” He pushed his hands in front of him, “Flame Pillar!” A stream of fire blasted its way from his hands. Tech jumped to dodge, but didn’t move fast enough. The blast hit him head on and sent him flying into a building nearby.

The Arena was quiet for a moment before Tech busted through one of the walls to O’Leary’s right. ”GATLING FIST!” He started rapidly punching O’Leary in the side until his arms were a blur, he pulled his fist back and delivered one final punch that sent O’Leary flying into the wall face first. When the dust settled O’Leary could be seen lying face first in the ashes. One would think him dead if he wasn’t snoring.

~Meanwhile~

Pinkie winced as O’Leary went flying “Oh... That looked like it hurt a lot.”

Rainbow blinked as she looked at the screen, to her pile of bits, and then back to the screen. “That’s it? I got 50 bits for that?”

AJ slowly slid her pile into a pouch and set it next to herself. “Eeyup.”

Rainbow grinned. “Sweet.”

~Arena~

Death appeared next to Tech, “The winner of round 2 is Techno!” Tech held up his hands as the hipsters went nuts. Drunks were yelling that O’Leary was just taking a break as his drunk ass was taken away on a stretcher.

James was laughing at the monitor that was hanging in his room. “That’s PRICELESS!”

Sarah stared at the monitor, a blank look on her face, “That- I- That’s just... FUCKING REALLY!?”

An announcement echoed through the arena, “And now, for a message from our sponsors!”

James and Amy looked at the monitor and went slack jawed. “We have sponsors?”

Looking at the screen it showed James putting hockey equipment in a locker room, when suddenly Alex flew past him from the ceiling and into the floor with a ‘Woah’.

James shook his head. “When did we do this?”

It then showed Alex falling again this time he landed with a clang. The camera zoomed into his face. Suddenly two perfect copies of his head popped out from the sides and yelled, “OLD SPICE BODY SPRAY,” The heads retracted and it showed James standing there looking confusedly at Alex as he kept talking. “CAN CHANGE A REGULAR SMELLING MAN INTO A MAN WHO SMELLS LIKE POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWEEEEEEEEER!” Suddenly TV Alex turned towards TV James and shouted everything except for his boxers off of him.

Laying on his bed, the real James’ eye twitched. “I don’t remember any of this!”

TV James looked down at himself, “Now how is this...” He was interrupted as TV Alex shouted again, this time dressing him in pharaohs clothing. TV James spoke again, “Wow, you know what I actually do feel more power...”

Alex interrupted again, “POTATO CHIPS!” Suddenly James exploded, and in his place stood a vending machine filled with chips. Alex then punched the glass and shrugged as he started eating a bag of chips.

~Meanwhile~

Pinkie stared at the screen with her jaw hanging open, “H-he stole my thing. But this is too funny to not laugh at, pftt hahahahahahahaaha!”

In the stands, Sheriff Silverstar was laughing so hard he couldn’t breath along with half the crowd and all of Appleloosa.

~Commercial~

The screen then changed to a white tile wall with a neon sign that said ‘Old Spice Smell is Power’ and below it were four spray cans. A jingle consisting of the word power was said before the camera suddenly zoomed in to the second can on the left. TV Alex’s head popped out of it, “It’s me!” The background exploded as the screen cut to black.

James’ eye twitched as he continued to stare at the screen. Kate was trying not to laugh as she was sorting some papers on her desk when James started yelling loud enough to make them scatter out the door. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX!!!!!!!!!!!!”

In the locker room Alex felt a shiver run up his spine. He waved his hand, “I sense, butthurt.”

As James continued staring at the screen a flash of light blinded him. When his vision came back he was covered in tubes that said, ‘Dr Zoidberg's Butthurt cream.’ James screamed louder than before as Amy broke out into a fit of laughter and tubes of butthurt cream went flying. Kate was REALLY trying not to laugh as she was standing in the doorway watching this. Somewhere in the distance, Sarah laughed for no apparent reason.
