“This is hardly fair.” Saturnia growled as she looked out the window of Sunset's workshop in the top of the crystal tower, staring down at the sparring Witch Wolf and Diamond Dog.
“It's not going to get any more fair if you keep harping on it.” Sunset huffed tapping on the screen of her crystal tablet, the device was hooked up to a much larger crystal system that was going to be used as a server rack as soon as she was done programming it. The communication and transfer abilities of her relay system were perfect and already in use, but the internet still needed to be built, and that was going to take longer.
“Seriously no matter how good I am with my shape shifting, that I am losing to muscles and huge teats is aggravating.” Saturnia grumbled.
“Rahs has a type.” Sunset offered, “But if that was all he was interested in we would have already lost. Plus would we really want some guy only interested in our looks?”
“Of course not. After all the research I did on the Sparkles for my mother back for that wedding fiasco he has far too many qualities that I highly approve of.”Saturnia sighed. “But.... I mean, look at them!”
“One's a goddess and the other is my cousin, so I'd rather not, besides they're probably both nude and covered in mud again.” Sunset sighed. “You would think Rarity would make clothing that was more durable..... oh that marshmallow bitch.”
“What?”
“I bet she's betting on Jynx in the Ponyville pool.”
“We need to have a word with her.” Saturnia growled.
“Nah, I just need to give her a design of something I saw in the human world to make to my measurements, then I just wear it as a human on a date with him, and you copy it in your Abyssinian form.” Sunset considered. “Applejack's still leery of working with Jynx and we've already planned to team up on the next date.”
“I still wish we didn't need to share him like that.”Saturnia sighed.
“Ehh we're both busy, he's busy, we get along pretty well and neither of us have issues with sharing because of who it would annoy, which is to say pretty much everyone.” Sunset offered. ”In a perfect world we wouldn't have to share, but there's only one of him and this isn't a rom com so the two of us aren't gonna drop him and hook up in a 4th act twist.”
Saturnia gave Sunset an apprising look which Sunset returned after thinking about it a moment.
“Nah.” Saturnia offered. “Not unless there's meat in the middle.”
“You've been hanging around Cadence too often.” Sunset smirked. ”Not that I disagree.”
“Well on the plus side, the stage mare and the fish don't seem to be teaming up.” Saturnia hummed.
“I still wouldn't discount them too easily. Aria's only having fun at the moment, but if she decides she's going to go all in, she'll have the support of three very dangerous individuals.” Sunset hummed. “ And Trixie is a bit more devious than you might think.”
“She's a mortal with a high skill in illusions and fireworks and nothing else. Just because she got his first kiss does not mean she will be getting any further if I have anything to say about it. “Saturnia huffed. “Besides while Aria can change into a human form as you can Trixie has no such thing and it has been pointed out several times Rahs is drawn to those with teats.”
“Boobs. They are called boobs when you are a biped with only two.” Sunset offered. “I suppose you are right though, she doesn't know the spell to change like Aria and I and even if she did, she doesn't have the power. I watched Luna try to train her after all.”
[Dragonlands.]
“Darkness beyond twilight....”
The dragon facing down the blue pony slowed in his attack raising one eyebrow at the mare not running and rearing back onto her back hooves, her fore hooves cupped together in front of her.
“Crimson beyond blood that flows....” Trixie continued.
“Rahs.” Twilight questioned from the large rock overlooking the fighting circle the house sized dragon and Trixie were in. They had witnessed a few other fights including Ember taking a dragon twice her size in a spectacular display of magic and acrobatics.
“Buried in the stream of time is where your power grows.”Trixie's spell started to hum ominously.
“Wuff?”
“Did Princess Luna teach Trixie the Dragon Slave?” Twilight asked.
“I pledge myself to conquer all the foes who stand.....” a bright ball of glowing energy formed between the mares hooves , her cape and hat starting to blow in a unseen breeze as motes of light gathered and started swirling into the brightening ball.
“Ruff.” Rahs nodded.
“Yes, you're right, I suppose she would have.” Twilight nodded. “Probably first thing.”
“Before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hoof....”
The dragon facing Trixie looked nervously to the side as Twilight Sparkle, Equinoid weapon of mass destruction, raised a few dozen shields between herself and the match, tossed her brother in front of her, and body tackled Bleu off the back of the rock they had been sitting on.
”Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed......” Trixie practically shouted.
The green dragon Trixie was facing was sweating bullets, then he took note that Dragon Lord Torch had taken a few steps back to sink behind his volcanic throne.
“By the power you and I possess...” The ball in Trixie's hooves was three times the size it had been and there was a manic gleam in her eye.
“I FORFIT!!!” The dragon yelped and took off like a shot out of the ring to flee for the hills.
Trixie watched him go with a grin letting her illusion of the spell fade to nothing.
“Seems Trixie moves into the finals.” Trixie cheered.
Rahs rolled his eyes then turned to try and maul his sister for throwing him in front of her like that.
The fights were put on hold as all the dragons watched the two Sparkles go at it.
[ One hour, three destroyed mountains, one drained lake, sixteen craters, and two new volcanoes later.]
The purple dragon looked down at the orange pony before him.
Scootaloo stared back up at the dragon.
The dragon glanced up to the seating where the purple pony sat, with a very large grin on her face.
He looked back down to the orange pony that was just standing there.
“Nope.” The dragon stated and turned walking out of the fighting circle.
Rahs sighed and slapped his sister in the back of the head.
“WHAT!?” Twilight protested. ”I didn't even do anything.”
“Huh... and I was gonna give up before the fight started too.” Scootaloo hummed. ”Cool I can try out that last event.”
“Dragon Lord Torch.” Twilight called up to him. Torch blinked and leaned his head down.
“Did you need something?” Torch asked.
“Just a question about the rules.” Twilight asked watching as Spike squared off with a dragon twice his size. “Now I cannot cast any spells on my brother down there because he's in the tournament, right?”
“That is correct.” Torch asked watching as Spike was currently running around the edge of the circle while the other dragon tried to smash him.
“So am I allowed to cast any spells I want on my other brother, who is sitting next to me outside of the ring and not participating?” Twilight asked.
“Errr.. I suppose so....” Torch blinked thinking he was missing something, particularly as Bleu started to snicker.
“Thank you.” Twilight nodded and started rapid casting and layering Minotaur's strength, Bears endurance and Monkey's cunning repeatedly along with several armor spells and other buffs onto Rahs.
Rahs smirked.
[Crystal Empire]
“Alright you two one more big push.” Shining Armor smirked as his foals giggled.
He was sitting slightly behind them as he pushed them on the swings at the part, the pair of foals giggling and laughing as they swung with their father pushing them both with his hooves.
“Okay here we go.” Shining called to them as they both screamed out as his hooves pressed to the back of the swings and he pushed intending only to send them forward a little.
The sudden surge of power was fully unexpected, and his push sent both of them forward like a rocket launching the two foals into the air to soar across the park as the chains on the swings snapped.
He stared after for a half second as the foals screamed out in excitement as they soared through the air. He quickly surged to his hooves and tore after them at an almost blinding speed with several promises in his mind to kill his sister and brother when he got the chance, it was okay, they'd grown back.
[Dragon Lands]
Dragon Lord Torch growled lightly, the sound starting an avalanche on one of the few remaining mountains in the area.
After Twilight's questions and casting, Spike had gotten a hold of the other dragons tail and proceeded to swing him around and into the ground a few times with little to no effort before flinging him out of the ring and into a rock wall, where the dragon was now stuck.
“Huh. Looks like Spike wins. Imagine that.”
Dragon Lord Torch narrowed his eyes at the smiling Moon Dog and sighed again.
