Tournament of the Wraiths

Round 3

The Stone Vs. The Tinman

Michael walked into the arena feeling a bit sore, the blast to his chest had hurt at first. But thanks to Johon it was feeling better. Jay was walking next to him smiling and waving to the crowd. His calm demeanor never leaving. Michael stared at Jay with confusion. Jay turned to him with a grin.

“Try not to lose too quickly now.” Jay said.

Michael’s eye twitched at Jays taunt, “I plan on at least holding you off.”

Jay laughed at the response, “So you say. I may seem young, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.”

Michael nodded, “Alright then, but tricks are only used by those who can’t fight worth a damn.”

Jay grinned, but remained silent. They moved to the center of the Arena, Michael with his hammer in hand, and Jay with his hands in his pockets.

Death appeared in front of them, “Are you two ready to fight?”

Jay nodded, as did Michael. Though he did stare at Jay with confusion. Why didn’t he have his weapon with him?

Death nodded, “Your fight will take place in the Kola Superdeep Borehole.”

Michael’s eye twitched, “WHAT!?”

Jay grinned ferally. Things were going his way finally and he knew that his bluff would pay off.

Lowering his hand, Death vanished and the Arena changed to a rocky cavern. Immediately both wraiths started sweating.

Death’s voice rang out, “BEGIN!”

Jay vs. Michael

Rebel 1, Action!

(Jay vs. Michael Theme)

Jay stomped on the ground and a diamond baseball bat erupted from the ground. He gave it a test spin in his hands, and was satisfied that it felt right.

Michael smirked, “Restriction level 1, released!” He raised his hammer and pointed it towards Jay. “Ready to rumble?”

Jay grinned once more, “Restriction level 1, released!” An earthy colored fire danced off of Jay. “I’m ready for more original banter. But sure, lets kick it off.” He taunted.

Michael smashed his foot into the ground, causing blocks of metal to hover in front of him. He punched forward, launching them, “Titanium Toss!”

Jay laughed at the projectiles, “Here’s the pitch,” He said as he slid into a batter's stance. When the metal blocks were almost on top of him, he let loose the most powerful swing he could. “And It’s a ho~me run!” The Metal blocks shot back like a rocket. It caught Michael by surprise and collided into his chest and sent him flying back.

Michael thrust his hammer towards Jay, “Neodymium Nexus!” Small metal cubes started to revolve around Jay, causing his arms and legs to freeze up. “Surprise!”

Jay looked at his situation, and chuckled. He began to glow an earthy brown. “Stalwart soul.” He then moved freely. “Honestly. Did you really think that I didn’t know what Neodymium did?” He teleported behind Michael and Smashed the Diamond bat against the back of his head, sending him into a wall.

Michael groaned and turned around quickly smashing his hammer against his leg, “Midnight Smash!”

Jay responded accordingly, “Diamond Dome!” A dome of diamond encased Jay, protecting him from all sides.

Michael started to wail on the dome with his hammer, “Why. Don’t. You. FIGHT!”

Inside the dome, Jay smirked. “All right...” He sighed with amusement. The dome shattered, surprising Michael, until he felt Jay’s hands on the back of his shirt flying into the air. He ended up colliding into the roof with a great smash, creating a crater in the roof. He then felt himself being pulled into the down as he fell.

“Emerald Driver!” Michael collided with the ground with great force.

For a couple seconds, it looked like Michael was about to get up, before crashing back into the ground. Death appeared as the Arena returned to a grassy plain. “The winner of round three is Jay!”

Jay laughed jovially, “Was there ever any doubt?” He laughed as he walked over to where an unconscious Michael was resting. He then picked him up and threw him over his shoulder. “I’ll take him to the infirmary, keep the tourney goin’!” He waved to the audience as they cheered his name.

~Meanwhile~

Rainbow laughed as she once again dragged a pile of bits over to her bags. “I swear AJ, you have the worse luck when it comes to these things.”

Applejack grumbled, “Ah wouldn’t go that far, do remember there are more rounds comin’ up.”

The screen flashed, showing a picture of Amy and Dean. “The next fight will be Dean vs. Amy!”

Round 4

The Glacier Vs. The Moon

Dean swaggered into the arena as ponies broke out cheering.He looked to all sides as he soaked in the attention and praise. He grinned as he saw banners with his name amongst the crowd.

“Geez, they go all out, don’t they?” Dean turned to Amy with a grin. She nodded with a smile as they moved to the center of the arena. They stood in the center of the arena, waiting for the signal to begin.

Death appeared in front of them holding a microphone, “Welcome back to the fourth round of the wraith tournament! This round is Amy Hindenburg Vs. Dean Marcelo, are you ready!?”

“My nipples are perked in excitement.” Dean grinned as he prepared his wraith blade.

Amy facepalmed as she prepared her Bow. “Let’s just get this over with.”

“Your arena will be an iceberg in the Arctic Ocean. BEGIN!” Both competitors jumped back and slid a ways, as the arena changed into a large, flat iceberg floating in the current of an Arctic midnight.

Dean Vs. Amy

Rebel 1, Action!

(Dean Vs. Amy Theme)

“Releasing first restriction/Releasing first restriction”

Dean was the first to move, he teleported in front of her and lashed a kick. “Infernal Rapture!” She backflipped away from the kick and narrowly avoided the beam that launched from the ground. She notched her bow with a silver light erupting from her fingers, creating five arrows.

“Lunar Arrows!” Dean, being the suave bastard that he is, placed a hand on his hat and moonwalked out of the way. Amy’s eye twitched.

“De-fucking-nied!” The Icemeister taunted with a grin. He teleported once more in front of the Lunar archer with his sword at the ready. “Peek-a-boo bitch!” He slashed downwards, Amy blocked it with her bow, struggling with Deans superior strength. Dean jumped backwards, obvious grin on his face.

Amy Clapped her hands together and slammed them into the ground “Illusion Show!” Many figures of Dean and Amy popped out of the ice and started dancing.

“Oh to hell with this!” Dean snarled. He stabbed his sword into the ground. “Arctic dungeon!” A frozen mist escaped from the ground, destroying all of the illusions.

Amy jumped onto one of the images as it was encased in ice. She tapped it a couple of times on the head before sighing “Why do they always dance?”

“Because reasons!” Dean replied. He charged at Amy with ice trailing behind him. “And here’s something for ya’!” He jumped high into the air and stomped on the ground, forcing the ice to rise. It wasn’t until a giant glacier was resting above Deans head that the ice stopped moving.

~Meanwhile~

James was smiling at the screen. He’d been given the OK to leave the infirmary and was with the others in the locker room. “She really thought that making a copy of Dean would make something normal?”

Michael nodded in agreement. “I really don’t want to see what happens if she does that to Alex.” The mage in question grinned and started rubbing his hands together.

~Battlefield~

Amy threw her hands in the air. “Fuck it all.” She charged Dean and kicked him in the jaw. “Crescent Assault!”

A gasp of air left Dean as he dropped the glacier into the water. Amy continued her attack as she landed three more hits and axe-kicked Dean into the ground, knocking his hat away. In the distance a cruise liner sank as the glacier crashed into the front. Amy glared at the ship with surprise and annoyance.

“It was you!?!” She exclaimed.

~Meanwhile~

James and Michael looked at each other, then the screen, then back to each other. “It was him!?!”

Alex grinned. “I approve.”

James turned to him, “Why?”

Alex smiled, “Because I didn’t cause it.”

~Battlefield~

Dean watched his hat fall to the ground and chuckled, it then started to turn into a light laughter, then it turned into a full on insane laugh. He rose from the ground, a insane look in his eyes. “YOU WANT TO DANCE!?! OKAY!”

He charged at Amy with more speed than before, and kicked her in the jaw. “Infernal Rapture!” As she ascended into the air, Dean jumped up to meet her. He appeared above her and began to slash repeatedly. He then grabbed her leg and tossed her into the ground and formed ice around his legs as he fell.

“Glacier Drop!” He landed on top of Amy, ice shattering everywhere. He wasn’t done though, as he then picked her up and kicked her forward, making her skid across the ground. He turned off his wraith blade and created his own bow.

“Arrows of Ice!” He launched three spikes of ice at her and froze her in place. He then activated his wraith blade and slashed down. “Arctic Dagger!” A blade of ice was launched from his sword and zoomed at Amy with great speed. It cut her out of the block of ice and left her dazed as she collapsed.

Dean finally finished his attacks and he appeared calmer. He then grimaced as he realized what he just did. “Maybe I overdid it...” He rubbed the back of his neck.

Death appeared as the arena changed back to normal and raised Dean’s arm. “And the winner of round 4 is Dean!” Dean tapped Death’s shoulder with his free hand.

“Is she gonna be alright?” Dean asked with concern. Death nodded in response. Kate and Fluttershy carried her away on a stretcher.

The screen flashed drawing everyone towards it. “And now, for a commercial break!”

The screen cut to a backyard with Sarah and Arlosia looking up at James who was holding a bag of Doritos on top of a pillar made of light. Arlosia seemed to be inside an elastic bouncer and Sarah was in an electric wheelchair.

James was taunting them, “Who has the Doritos, who has the Doritos?” He held them out, “You want one?” He pulled them back. “Sorry!” It cut to Arlosia turning to Sarah as James continued his taunting in the background.

It cut again to Sarah pulling Arlosia back with the wheelchair, stretching the springs on the bouncer. Suddenly, Arlosia raised her thumb and Sarah released her, sending Arlosia flying towards James. The camera did an epic shot as she flew towards him, reached out a hand, and grabbed the bag.

James looked at them surprised as Sarah, who was holding the bag, held out a chip, with Arlosia joining her a second later. The screen finally showed a Doritos logo with a crunch sound before cutting to black.
