//------------------------------// // Round One: My Little Pony vs. Care Bears // Story: The Pink Arena // by Blaze Spectrum //------------------------------// Round One Equestria vs. Care Bears So, we have Care Bears? In my opinion, the show isn't much of a nightmare. However, let's get to it! Over the horizon, the two sides looked menacingly at each other. Each glare would be offset by the fact that they were coloured in ways not possible for creatures in real life. However, they didn't belong in real life, so it didn't matter. Rainbow Dash, as her brash self always, was the first to make a move, her eyes locked on Harmony Bear, being the reckless pegasus she was, she bolted straight for her target. Harmony Bear barely had enough time to put up a shield before Rainbow Dash hit her. The pegasus rammed straight into the solid object, flinching for a second, she allowed Grumpy Bear to zap her with a nearby cloud. It singed her tail, and not her body. But this time, she was ready. However, without thinking rationally she started delivering a collection of punches and bucks while staying in the air at Grumpy Bear, before she got hit by a hammer that Share Bear pulled out. After that, even though it was normally beyond her pride, Rainbow Dash admitted that despite all her abilities she was hopelessly outnumbered, she dashed straight back at the neighborhood of mach two. She informed Twilight of the situation, and so, she agreed to go forward, but they wouldn't charge. Meanwhile, Back at the Care Bear side, they were creating duplicates of Funshine's ATV and a a lollipop that Grumpy Bear brought along. Maybe if the battle was to last long they would need it. Share Bear created duplicates of Funshine's water bottle that he brought along. It was made of steel, and was better that fists at least. They were ready. Meanwhile, the Main Six weren't getting along too well. Rarity avoided mud and Applejack, who simply went straight forward regardless of what was in her way. Fluttershy was at the end of the pack, chattering. Twilight was ready to charge up a magic spell to melt a hole in something. Holding a charged spell would just burn her energy. However, they were slightly shocked by the purr of ATV engines, the equines had no idea what it was, all they knew was it was malevolent. Twilight spent three seconds charging up a lethal bolt of magic. It was strong enough to rip through five centimetres of solid steel, easily enough to kill three fully grown stallions. She unleashed the bolt. It traveled forward at near the speed of sound, and found its target, Wonderheart's ATV that she, after some begging, got Tenderheart to accept her riding her own. The magenta bolt of energy ripped straight through the vehicle, and made it blow sky high. Wonderheart's corpse could have been mistaken for burnt scrap metal judging by how badly burnt it was. The Care Bears attention was grabbed by the explosion for enough time for Rainbow Dash to shoot a lightning bolt from a nearby cloud, it hit Funshine directly between the eyes. He was immediately killed by the couple hundred thousand volts zapping him. He was practically being burnt inside out, and it was too much for his body. The Care Bears, however, were now much more serious. Cheer Bear shot out a rainbow, enough to distract the Main Six, and Tenderheart Bear, despite usually being cool as a cucumber, was offset by Wonderheart's demise. He pulled out his substitute club otherwise known as a water bottle and jumped off his ATV, which nearly splattered Applejack. He ran up to her and gave a swift swing of his bat. It missed but he took another one, this one hit Applejack in the body, and having her flinch enough, hit her in the head. Just as he was about to deal the finishing blow, Applejack, being too stubborn as to even accept near certain death, punched her combatant in the face. Then, she turned around and bucked him in the chest. This wasn't the precise, ordered buck she used for apple trees. This was her meanest, strongest buck. Her hooves connected with his rib cage, a clear crack could be heard and her hooves sunk into the lungs. Her left one partially hit the heart, enough to cause excruciating pain but not enough to be fatal. Tenderheart Bear fell, down, clearly almost dead. He took only a few seconds to bleed out. With the damage done to his lungs, he wasn't even able to take a last breath. Meanwhile, Twilight charged up another bolt of magic to fire at Harmony Bear who had switched to ground tactics. Harmony Bear did deploy a shield but the bolt melted a hole straight through it and hit her. While the force was vastly weakened by the shield she was knocked back and right in the middle of her belly badge, was a third degree burn tainting the previously pretty picture. Twilight unleashed another bolt, this one was much weaker, she didn't charge at all, but it was more then enough to give her victim a second degree burn on her shoulder. However, little did Twilight know, that Grumpy Bear was sneaking up on her. Right before she fired the finishing blow that would kill Harmony Bear, he batted her right in the face. This caused her to release the bolt and set a path of grass on fire a couple hundred metres away. Grumpy Bear took another strike at her head, and then one at her stomach. He prepared a cloud to come over to deal the finishing blow to Twilight. However, he didn't know that Rainbow Dash was on that cloud. She twirled her hooves vertically and pressed down on the cloud. The bolt hit Grumpy Bear right in the back. He fell to the ground with a thump, smoke rising from the area the lightning bolt hit. Rainbow Dash gave a nod to Twilight before they both targeted Harmony Bear. However, Harmony Bear was no longer at the spot, in fact, she wasn't in sight. Twilight and Rainbow could only assume she ran away. However, the loud roar of an ATV could be heard not far away. Cheer Bear jumped of of the vehicle, using the momentum to get a direct hit at Rainbow's head. Rainbow Dash fell to the dirty grass. She slowly got up, to see Twilight grab Cheer Bear with telekinesis and throw her over the horizon. Back to where the Care Bears were, they finally decided to work out a plan. Since they were out of sight, the Main Six decided to simply go to Twilight and Rainbow Dash's position to camp and wait for them to come back. Share Bear created a few more duplicates of a duplicate ATV she had. It was too dangerous to go back to retrieve the lost ones. With that, they could go with their plan. They revved off at full throttle. The Trio went up a random hill that would lead towards the Main Six's camp. Once, they gained enough speed, the jumped over the hill, into sight of the Main Six. They were supposed to land on a few and then engage in close quarters combat. If each one of them landed on one then it would be a even match from then. However, Twilight noticed them and deployed a force field. The ATVs simply bounced straight off the shield. Rainbow Dash, had a quick backup plan. She simply told Twilight to keep the force field up and flew out. She went up to the three remainders of the Care Bears, and pulled off one of her signature moves. When Twilight didn't have the force field up, this would probably kill her friends as well, but now it was perfect. She flew up, until she was above the cloud layer, hoping Twilight had the common sense to keep the force field up, She dove down, slowly gaining speed until she was fast enough to perform the move. The Care Bears, thinking it was a simple dive, sidestepped. However, what they didn't know, was that it was much more. Once Rainbow Dash hit the ground, a mushroom shaped cloud rose up, a multicoloured shock wave accompanied it. The whole land was shaken for miles. Once it had cleared, Rainbow Dash looked at the corpses of the Care Bears. It was a bloody heap with internal organs and broken bones. Looking back at her friends, she saw Twilight had put down the force field, and they were very well alive. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Wins!
