The changelings in the dome started to chant ‘fight’ as Big Mac started to speak.
“Consider yerself lucky, ya have a chance ta feel the strength that's been passed down the Apple line fer generations.”
Bulk let out a chuckle and said,“Puny pony. BULK SMASH!”
“OK, LETS BAAAAAATTTTTTLLLLLEE,” Bug Spray yelled as he rang the bell.
___________
Both fighters move to the center of the ring with Bulk throwing a haymaker that Mac dodged under striking Bulk in the ribs. Bulk comes back with two lefts and a right the Mac struggles to defend against. Mac now on the offensive jabs twice and a straight right that he leaves out to long. Seeing the opening Bulk hits Mac with a one two combo the staggers Mac. Seeing this Bulk charges with a straight right knocking Mac back into the far corner. Bulk seizes the opportunity. Having his opponent in the corner Bulk keeps up his combo going high and into the body. Mac, sensing another staggering punch coming dodged out of the corner and hits Bulk in the corner with an overhand right. Wasting no time Mac started his assault on bulk in the corner. Coming out of the Bulk threw a right, missed, and a left hook also missing. Mac took this opportunity to hit Bulk with a jumping right cross knocking him to the mat. The noise in the dome was deafening. Half the changelings were cheering the others booing. As Bulk got up he brushed himself off.
“Lucky punch,” said bulk, “you only get one.”
With guards up both fighters started again. Mac now fighting more conservative starts moving in and out avoiding Bulks swings. Mac can see Bulk starting to stagger. Mac comes in with a hard right that Bulk telegraphed a moved back. With Mac missing his punch Bulk moved in by grabbing Mac by the shoulders head butting him then stepping on his foot and hitting him with a solid right hook. Mac is down. Mac gets back up determined. Both fighters charge each other. At the last moment Mac rolls at Bulk. Grabbing Bulk, Mac slams him to the mat. Straddling Bulk, Mac was able to get in two punches before he was tossed off. Back on his feet Bulk hit Mac with a hard shoulder stunning Mac again. Bulk was able to hit Mac with a few good solid punches before Mac could counter. A barrage of punches and counters were exchanged by both until Mac got careless again. Seizing the moment Mac tried a jumping right cross. Bulk saw it coming and side stepped it. Bulk had a clear shot. A surge of power started to rise in Bulk. His eyes glowed. ‘SUPER BULK PUNCH’
Bulk winded up hitting Mac with a punch that sent him spinning face first to the canvas.
“What a punch. Mac is down and he is not moving,” yelled Tick.
“Bulk hit him with an awesome haymaker,” replied Bug Spray,“looks like Mac has bought the farm.”
Still down on the canvas Mac hadn't moved. Bulk was taking in all the cheers. Just then King Sombra stood and looked at Bulk. The king extended his right hand and gave a thumbs down to Bulk. With a smile on his face Bulk turn back to Mac who was now on his knees. Getting up Mac turned towards Bulk. His eyes were now glowing.
‘ULTIMATE MAC ATTACK’
With a sudden surge of speed Mac was pummeling Bulk. Mac's fists were moving so fast Bulk could do nothing to counter. Bulk tried to swing but Mac caught the punch and with a loud crack snapped his arm just below the elbow. Bulk was helpless. There was nothing he could do to counter the onslaught brought on by Mac. With Bulk totally defenseless Mac took a step back and step in with a wind up uppercut that removed Bulk's head from his shoulders. Bulk's body fell. His head landed about three feet away. Once done Mac left the ring and returned to the coliseum doors. The trap door for the ring opened again lowering the ring and Bulk's decapitated body with it.
“Wow after all that it was Mac that kept his head through the fight,” said Bug Spray.
Tick made the announcement, “your winner is BIG MCINTOSH.”
There was a lot of cheers and boos once the announcement was made. Even Chrysalis was surprised by the outcome.
“Well so much for the ‘GREAT WHITE HOPE’ hahahaha (fart). So what's the next fight,” asking rhetorically seeing how she had the fight schedule in hand.
Once Mac left the coliseum he was guided to a holding cell. When the cell closed the enchantment of the collar was released. He was met with a throbbing headache and the site of blood covering his hands.
“Oow, what in blue blazes is this? Where all this blood come from?” said Mac checking to see if the blood was his.

Back inside the arena changelings were preparing for the next fight. Concessions were being bought, bets were being made as the next fight was announced.
“ARE YOU READY FOR OUR NEXT BATTLE?” Tick said as the buzz of the arena became deafening.
“Entering now, wearing green tunic with brown leggings, the cowgirl from Ponyville with a kick stronger than a mule, Apple Jack.” The crowd started to buzz again.
“And her opponent, wearing the silver armor with blue trim, the buzzkill of Canterlot, captain of the guard, Shining Armor.” Instantly the crowd started to boo and hiss.
“Well looks like we know who isn't the crowd favorite,” said Bug Spray.
“You weren't there the day of the invasion,” said Tick.
Shining Armor stood tall with his broad sword and shield. The shield had his cutie mark on the front. Apple Jack was at the other side armed with a long handled war hammer with two apples etched in the side. The queen activated the collars and both fighters came to life.
“There is no way I will be defeated by the likes of you,” said Shining clanging his sword against his shield.
“Lets see how arigant ya sound when ah put that sword down yer throat,” said Apple Jack gripping her hammer.
“LETS GET IT OOOOON.”
Running towards Shining Apple Jack started with a vicious swing that Shining was easily able to block. She attack again able to keep Shining at a good distance. After the third swing Shining was able to counter. Using his shield to swat away the hammer Shining thrusted at the cowgirl. However she was able to recover, block his thrust, and retaliate with another swing. Changing up her tactics Apple Jack went for an over head swing that Shining block again but when the hammer hit the ground the farmgirl used the momentum and vaulted forward drop kicking Shining’s shield making him stagger backwards. With him momentarily discombobulated Apple Jack went for the legs sweeping Shining off his feet. Seeing the hammer coming down Shining rolled back letting the hammer hit the ground with a loud thud. The second hit was blocked with his shield and Shining was able to sweep the feet of the cowgirl bringing her to the ground. Shining tried to attack Apple Jack while still on the ground but she was able to roll out the way and recover. Both combatants were panting from overexertion but neither were ready to yield. Shining went on the attack. Using a sword and shield combo he started to wear down the cowgirl. It took everything she had just to defend. Shining was able to knock Apple Jack’s hammer out of her grip. Feeling confident he went for an overhead slice that was blocked. Apple used one hand to hold his sword hand and the other to start punching Shining in the gut finishing with a kick to the chest which knocked him back about a good eight feet. Apple Jack ran back to get her hammer. Just then Shining using his magic grabbed the farm girl's hammer. Trying to pry it from her grip it became a game of tug of war that Apple Jack was winning. A few moments later and Shining gave up on the spell. Instead he charged towards Apple Jack putting his magic into his shield. With eyes and shield glowing Shining hit the cowgirl with ‘SHINING STAR’ and knocked her back about a good 20 feet. Shining feeling he had the advantage was ready to finish this. Running towards Apple Jack the captain jumped in the air ready to come down on his opponent. However Apple Jack was waiting and ready. As Shining came down Apple Jack eyes started to glow. ‘SUPER CIDER SWING’ Apple Jack's hammer made contact with the shield not only destroying the spell but severely damaging the shield. The captain, now in immense pain due to his left arm being bent with the shield. Now Apple Jack taking the advantage moved towards Shining ready to finish this fight. Even though Shining’s left arm was broken he still has his sword. He advanced toward Apple Jack sword raised ready to cut the cowgirl down. How ever she had other plans. Using her hammer Apple Jack knocked the sword away and kicked Shining in the gut bringing him down to his knees.
“It's all over sugar cube,” said Apple Jack as she raised the hammer up for the last blow.
With what magic Shining had left he grabbed for his sword. Apple Jack turned to see the sword wrapped in magic headed for her. Using her hammer she knocked the sword into the air. Suddenly Apple Jack felt a pain in her back. Without knowing Shining had pulled a dagger from his chest plate and stabbed Apple Jack in the back through the heart.
“Like I said there's no way I could lose to the likes of you,”said Shining as he drove the dagger deeper.
Apple Jack could feel her conscious failing. As she looked up Apple Jack could see the sword coming back down towards her. She reached up grabbing the sword and turned to Shining. Reaching Shining's neck Apple Jack took his sword and drove it down Shining’s open mouth. His eyes turned into pin pricks as the farmgirl hilted the sword down his pie hole.
“I'm not one for lying,”said Apple Jack,“I told ya were ah was puttin’ that sword.”
As the last syllable passed the farmgirl’s lips she fell slumped over Shining’s body.
“Looks like we have a draw,”said Tick
“Yep,”said Bug Spray,“how ‘bout them apples.
Chrysalis turned to Sombra,“so, enjoying yourself?”
“I will admit this is rather entertaining. Who is next?”replied Sombra.
