Fluttershy trot through the park, glancing back nervously at the group of ponies following her. " ... um ... what are you girls doing? If you don't mind me asking, I mean ... " She squeaked in surprise and fear as a machine was shoved in front of her.
"Don't mind us, Fluttershy! We're just here to make a video featuring DJ TR33, the newest up-and-coming musician of Ponyville!" The orange filly poked her head out from behind the video camera, patting it with a hoof. "Neat, huh? Vinyl lent it to us!" She paused, bringing the same hoof up to her chin, lost in thought. "She said something about having it for music videos. I forget."
Fluttershy glanced around, worried. " ... where is Vinyl, anyways? I thought we were going to meet here with Octavia ... "
"Oh, she left town." The white unicorn filly said, putting down her microphone. "Apparently, Octavia gave away something important to her on accident."
On a mountain fifty miles away from Ponyville, a different white unicorn sneezed. She pulled her scarf tighter around herself, climbing higher and higher. " ... can't believe Octy ... gave my Cloudsmith record away ... don't worry, my precious ... I won't let anyone hurt you!"
She stopped at a ledge, a group of fifteen snow-beasts in her way. "This hardly seems fair." She smirked, getting into a fighting stance. "You shoulda brought more!" She leapt at them, a hoof reared back to strike. "AW, YEAH!"
Fluttershy frowned, upset. " ... oh ... well that's not good ... " She looked up, and seeing a grey mare approaching, quickly turned to the three fillies. "I'm sorry, girls, but I need to talk to somebu-" She blushed, shaking her head. "Excuse me, somepony. Maybe you can interview Pinkie? I'm sure she'd like that ... "
The trio grinned at each other, nodding simultaneously. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS INTERVIEWERS, YAY!" They galloped off, the yellow one calling over her shoulder at Fluttershy. "See ya later, DJ TR33!"
Fluttershy thought for a moment, pondering what they said. " ... I'd like to be a TR33." Smiling at that thought, she slowly approached the other mare.
The earth pony looked up at Fluttershy, a sheepish smile on her face. "My apologies. I didn't expect that it would take such a long time to acquire another cello."
"Oh, it's no problem at all." She lift up the flap of her saddlebag with her wing, pulling out a familiar black box. "Would you like to hear the results?"
Octavia stared at the device for a few moments. "Pardon me for asking, but how are you going to use that? Vinyl always used her magic."
The white unicorn sneezed once more, beginning to wonder if she was getting a cold. Looking down at the pile of snow trolls underhoof, she questioned the leader. "You don't know where my Cloudsmith album is?"
It shook its head, eyes wide in fear of the unicorn in front of it.
She sighed, jumping off the troll pile. "Next stop, the Mammoth Fields..."
Fluttershy smiled, wiggling the tips of her wings. "I'll use it with these, of course." She then proceeded to press buttons with a deftness that would impress most video gamers. Looking at the screen, she tilted her head, confused. "...this is odd...why are they pitting ponies against each other? That doesn't seem very-"
"Fluttershy." The yellow pegasus glanced up at her friend, who looked like she was straining herself holding something inside. "Please just tell me who won."
" ... oh ... um ... okay ... " Fluttershy flicked the screen repeatedly, eyes wide in surprise, keeping tally in her mind. " ... wow ... that's a lot of votes ... " Eventually, she reached the end. She nervously turned to the mare. " ... you ... "
Octavia leaped up in joy, forgetting herself momentarily. "YES! No more having to buy new cellos!"
" ... ah ... um... y-you didn't let me finish ... " She waited for her friend to calm down before continuing. " ... you ... tried your best ... but ... " Seeing the look of horror on her face, she quickly became panicked. "I-it's not your fault! Vinyl's just more experienced, and it was your first time!"
Octavia sighed, rubbing the back of her neck. " ... I can already feel the jostling ... " She sighed. "A deal's a deal." She turned and, giving the pegasus a wave, walked back to their shared apartment.
Fluttershy sighed, glad that was over. Suddenly a blur of white and green raced past her. Blinking, she looked after them, recognizing the bunny, as well as the creature currently clamped onto one of his ears. "Gummy! Please, why are you biting Angel bunny?" She chased after them, worried something bad would happen.
So yeah. Vinyl got approximately two-thirds of the votes. Also, working on two raps at once. So it may take a while.
On a different note, the first one to name all the references in the last chapter (as well as this one, if you'd like bonus points) will be given the chance to choose the sixth battle. (Don't assume you got them all. I can be very discrete when I want to. ;3 Oh, and I'm trying not to do repeats.)
I guess that's all I need to say. So I say...hey! Have a nice day!
Enigma out.~
Fluttertroll got Octy's hopes up. Made my day.
I would like to see Big Macintosh vs. Prince Blueblood
Gummy vs. Angel
Fluttershy vs. Gilda
Scootaloo vs. Rainbow Dash
My Requests.
Octavia vs. Vinyl Scratch Rematch!!!
...eventually please.
Angel Bunny Vs. Gummy: The tootless aligator?!
BRACE YOURSELVES!...
...THE NEXT RAP BATTLE WILL BE BEYOND EPIC PROPORTIONS!
Zombies.
CELESTIA VS LUNA!!!!
Fluttershy vs. Gilda
DAMMIT
Yay Vinyl! This is fun!
Also, just a note: if you ever need help writing the battles, I'm always willing. I've got experience with rapping and rap writing, so I think I can help if you ever need it. Just offering!
Celestia versus Chrysalis
Applejack versus Gilda
Colgate versus Doctor Whooves
those are my requests
on to the story itself, that was pretty funny twist with vinyl destroying all the trolls and stuff, pretty funny man, keep it up
Vinyl is an anti-troll... lol!
Still, I do feel sorry for octavia maybe Vinyl can get some bonus points by being senitive to her not wanting to be there and possibly doing something to help like allowing her to skip out anyway.
Luna vs. Iron Will. Make it happen.
695061
Tell me how EPIC it would be and I'll be willing to listen.
Yes!! No pony can beat Vinyl!! The only one with the awesomeness to match would be RD. even then I'm not certain RD would win.
(Ps don't tell her I said that. I know how she feels about losing.)
Carrot Top trots into her home after a long day on her farm.
Derpy is sitting on Carrot's couch, food scraps littered around her.
Derpy: "I emptied your fridge!"
Carrot Top:
DERPY HOOVES
VS
CARROT TOP
694914
why yes. yes it is.
695521
...i have to say, this is the first comment with a situation attached. that helps out a lot more than just a pairing!
also, care to play a game? if you win, i'll use this pairing for the sixth battle (the pairing for battle five has already been decided).
fluttershy any u just have to do one with fluttershy
Luna VS. Discord would be good IMO.
I wanna try my hand at writing these...er...the raps Imean... In my head I have a rap that would work for a spike.vs.fancy pants..even have a general set-up in my head...purty please?
but in all seriousness, if you are ever stuck on lyrics or anything...LEMME KNOW...if you dont mind that is...XD
My request: Snips and Snails tag team vs diamond tiara and silver spoon
695553
I second Luna in a rap battle. I don't care who she goes up against.
694914 yes. someone else knows about it. i love you.
Fluttershy vs Iron Will
Why? Because they were bored and it seemed like a good idea at the time
695710 Luna vs. Trixie.
To bad octy lost, vinyl is best anti troll, and fluttershy is best TR33
DJ PON3 vs DJ TR33
Haha gum in hare good one
695553
Um... I suppose I'll give it a go. What's the game?
695918
...oh my gosh, i didn't even see that. i applaud you, my good gentlecolt.
695958
it's in the author notes at the end of the story.
696065
Oh, that game. I'm not even going to try, I'm not familiar with enough popular video games and music and whatnot.
Berry Punch Vs. The Flim Flam Brothers
Just requestin dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Scootaloo_lolface.png
696108
mkay then. it'll still be there for everyone else if they want to try. though, to be honest, it's the only way to be certain your pairing would be used without some kind of meddling by me.
695521 My god, I love you for making that reference... Though, I can't actually remember which fic it was from...

696296
If you want to meddle with it, I'm okay with that.
If vinyl won then why did octy stash her record
696356 Oh, uhm, it definitely was not from that. It was from a fairly dark fanfiction--which must have used that for the reference--I think it was possibly Pony Psychology or Secrets and Lies...
Maybe... not sure, ah well, unimportant...
696296:
Isn't "I'd like to be a tree"
the same line that Fluttershy used on the train in the episode "Over a Barrel"?
Is that one of the references, the referance to the episode?
Fluttershy's Bad Hare Day reference
"I'm sorry, girls, but I need to talk to somebu-" She blushed, shaking her head. "Excuse me, somepony."
696543
yes on both counts. glad you noticed!
696725
that is correct. you win a cookie!
however, there is one major reference in this chapter that i purposely put in. oddly enough, nobunny has mentioned it yet.
696361
she actually did it while vinyl was trying to find a replacement dj...in her fit of anger.
696948:
Would that be that when the 3 CMC are the "reporters" trying to interview Fluttershy, that they we're trying to get the "story" and put it on the "papers" like in the Episode where the 3 where "Gabby Gums?"
696974
...you actually found a reference i didn't purposely put in.
you, sir, are amazing!
the one i was referring to was actually during a different part.
I like this series. It's really fun and when the raps work, they really work. Celesia vs. Luna is an obvious one, but would still be pretty epic. Or Derpy vs. Screwball? The possibilities are just endless!
PS
Give Vinyl her record back.
Dr.Whooves vs Spike
697346
record? *hides record under bed* i have no record. and i already have somepony in mind for luna...
696281
i'll be honest here. i'm trying not to repeat characters unless it's absolutely necessary. i'm sorry...
697386
...i have no idea how this one would work. i'm terribly sorry...
Luna vs trixie! I agree with whoever suggested that!
Who's rap flies at full height?
the great Trixie's that right,
Overthrow unicorns
who oppose me like Twilight,
You could never kick my flank
So kiss my bangs
this ugly alicorn and Featherweight got matching wings
