//------------------------------// // Pinkie Pie: Pinkie Pie v.s. Vinyl Scratch // Story: Fighting is Magic: Story Mode (Mane Six Edition) // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// Pinkie Pie was on fire! Somehow she seemed to be unstoppable. Opponent after opponent fell before her with little resistance. "I never thought it would be this easy." she thought to herself. Glancing at the tournament ladder, she was pleased to see that one of her friends was going to the finals. As for her, she was facing off against Vinyl Scratch. "Been awhile since I've seen her." Pinkie Pie said as she made her way to the stage. This stage appeared to be like the inside of a club. But not just any old club, the very club run by Neon Lights. The most popular club in Ponyville, and possibly even all of Equestria. It had been in said club that Pinkie Pie had first stumbled across fellow party lovers Neon Lights and Vinyl Scratch. "Ah Pinkie Pie, good to see ya!" Vinyl Scratch greeted cheerfully "Long time no see." "I know." Pinkie Pie said, shaking Vinyl's hoof "Thanks again for helping out with Rarity's first fashion show. Sorry I didn't contact you for the second one, but it was sort of a last minute thing." "Ah that's alright." Vinyl Scratch said "I'm just glad everything worked out for her in the end." "So it looks like we're going to be facing off against each other." Pinkie Pie said. "Sure does." Vinyl Scratch said "I wish I could've been there to see you face off against Octavia. Though I hear you did pretty well." "Oh right, I forgot she's your roommate." Pinkie Pie said. "Don't worry about it." Vinyl Scratch chuckled "Even Neon Lights forgets from time to time. As long as Octavia remembers that's all that matters to me." "Well just to let you know, I have no intention of losing." Pinkie Pie said. "Same thing here." Vinyl Scratch said "So let's stop talking and start fighting. We'll let our hooves do the talking for us. And whoever's got the better moves wins." "Sounds good to me." Pinkie Pie said "Let's get this party started!" "Take it away Neon Lights!" Vinyl Scratch commanded "Spin that sweet remix we've been working on." "Sure thing Vinyl." Neon Lights said "Best of luck to both of you." And with that Neon lit up his horn and used it to place a record on the turntable. "Ponies, are you ready to rock?!" he asked. The audience cheered. "Then put your hooves together, and give it up for the incredible duo of Pinkie Pie and Vinyl Scratch!" The roar of the auidence quickly became deafening. Even as the protective barrier appeared. "Fighters are you ready?" Princess Celestia asked as both fighters took up their positions. Both fighters nodded. "Round 1, Fight!" Princess Celestia said. "And here we go!" Neon Lights said. The music started blasting out of the speakers. Within seconds it had filled the club completly. "A simple fight just wouldn't be enough for me." Vinyl Scratch explained "So I've taken the liberty of adding a little twist. Let's see if you have what it takes to fight and stay focused." "I accept your challenge." Pinkie Pie said "Let's rock and roll." "That's what I want to hear!" Vinyl Scratch said "Now allow me to get the ball rolling." She charged up her horn and fired a magic blast at Pinkie Pie. Thanks to her 'Pinkie Sense', she dodged it with ease. "Not bad Vinyl." Pinkie Pie said "But a move like that would barely even tickle me. Let me show you what real fighting is." she raced forward and delivered a fierce uppercut. Vinyl shrugged it off but it was obvious that the move had damaged her. "That was a lucky hit Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "But my last move was only a warm up. I'm just getting started." "I sure hope you are Vinyl." Pinkie Pie said "Because I want a fight that I can really enjoy." She then charged forward, hoping to deliver a mid level punch. But Vinyl Scratch dodged it and delivered a kick that caught Pinkie Pie off guard. "How's that?" VInyl Scratch asked "That hot enough for ya?" "That, was, weak." Pinkie Pie said. Vinyl Scratch gasped. "Just kidding." Pinkie Pie said, chuckling slightly "I actually really felt the impact on that one." "I should've seen that one coming." Vinyl Scratch said "You always were one to crack jokes." "Well partying isn't my special talent." Pinkie Pie said "Even if throwing a party is what got me my cutie mark in the first place." "Don't get sidetracked now Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "And you already told your cutie mark story so many times." "Oopise, sorry." Pinkie Pie said. "It's alright Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said. She then delivered a swift punch that Pinkie Pie blocked. The fight dragged on, with both fighters dodging and blocking most of the attacks. Though on occassion Pinkie Pie or Vinyl Scratch would get in a free hit. But the fight looked like it could go either way. "30 seconds remaining." Princess Celestia announced. The excitement was mounting. Both fighters were slightly bruised and a little bit fatigued. "Now this is what I call a fight." Pinkie Pie said. "I'm glad you think so Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "And it looks like we're gonna tie each other." "Not if I beat you first!" Pinkie Pie said. "Such bold words." Vinyl Scratch said "Hit me with your best shot!" "Okie dokie lokie." Pinkie Pie said, whiping out her party cannon and firing it. Vinyl Scratch dodged the blast. "Nice try Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "But a little word of advice for next time, don't fire the party cannon unless you're sure your opponent can't dodge the blast." "Oh right. Silly me." Pinkie Pie said. She then raced forward and delivered a swift kick. It connected but Vinyl recovered before Pinkie Pie had a chance to start a combo. "D'oh I missed!" Pinkie Pie said. "You almost had me that time Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "Key word almost." "Shoot." Pinkie Pie said "Oh well, better luck next time I guess." "I hope you haven't given up Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said. "Far from it." Pinkie Pie said "I've just been stalling for time. And it looks like this round is just about over." "Time up." Princess Celestia said a second later "Pinkie Pie wins round 1 by decision." "Oh you sneaky little filly." Vinyl Scratch said "But how did you know time was about to run out? Are you psychic or something?" "Of course not." Pinkie Pie said "I just had a gut feeling is all." "You never cease to surprise me Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said. "I know." Pinkie Pie said "I'm just full of surprises." "Well I must congratulate you on an excellent first round." Vinyl Scratch said "But of course, you know you can expect me to go all out in the next round." "I would expect no less." Pinkie Pie said. "Don't underestimate me Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "Now that I know what your fighting style is like, I'm not going to make the same mistakes as before." "Then it looks like I'll just have to beat you a second time!" Pinkie Pie proclaimed. "You're always so optimistic." Vinyl Scratch said. "Flattery gets you nowhere Vinyl Scratch." Pinkie Pie teased. Once she had finished speaking those words Princess Celesita healed both fighters wounds, and restored their stamina. "Ready for round 2?" Vinyl Scratch asked. "Ready and waiting!" Pinkie Pie said "Let's do this!" "Fighters are you ready?" Princess Celestia asked as both fighters took up their positions. Both fighters nodded. "Round 2, fight!" Princess Celestia said. "I'm not holding back Pinkie Pie!" Vinyl Scratch said "I mean it!" To prove her point she wasted no time in getting up close and delivering a strong punch that Pinkie Pie barely dodged. "You're fast!" Pinkie Pie gasped. "I have to be to be a DJ." Vinyl Scratch said, She then delivered a high kick that Pinkie Pie dodged at the last second. "Well I'm not going to just stand by and allow you to keep attacking me!" Pinkie Pie said. Seizing an opportunity she grabbed Vinyl Scratch and threw her as hard as she could. To Pinkie Pie's surprise however Vinyl Scratch seemed to shrug off the throw as if it were nothing. From then on Vinyl Scratch seemed to go on the offensive. She kept launching attack after attack. All Pinkie Pie could do was dodge or block to the best of her ability. For a time it seemed like Vinyl Scratch might win the round and tie everything up. "Time to wrap this up!" Vinyl Scratch said, charging forward and preparing to initiate a combo that she was certain would bring her victory. To her surprise however Pinkie Pie dodged the set up kick and Vinyl realized that she was wide open. "Do your worst Pinkie Pie!" she thought to herself. "Now's my chance!" Pinkie Pie said. Wasting no time she pulled out her party cannon and fired it. Vinyl was unable to dodge the blast of streamers, and other party supplies that shot out of it at high speed. The blast inflicted serious damage to her. But that alone wasn't enough to turn things around and Pinkie Pie knew it. Before Vinyl Scratch had a chance to recover Pinkie Pie began assaulting her with punches, kicks, and uppercuts at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash jealous. Poor Vinyl Scratch was lucky if she had more then a few seconds to catch her breath in between attacks. It soon became obvious that baring some miracle it was all over for her. And a miracle never came. "Kiss your sorry butt goodbye Vinyl Scratch!" Pinkie Pie said "And say hello to Loserville!" She grabbed an exhausted Vinyl Scratch, spun her around a few times, and then threw her as hard and as fast as she could. Vinyl Scratch never knew what hit her. In the blink of an eye she hit the protective barrier and fell to the ground. "Nice one Pinkie Pie." she muttered under her breath. "K.O.!" Princess Celestia said "The winner of this match is Pinkie Pie, who will move on to the final round." "You alright Vinyl Scratch?" Pinkie Pie asked as she raced over and helped Vinyl Scratch to her hooves. "I've felt better." Vinyl Scratch groaned "But that's nothing compared to how spent I feel after some hard rocking parties. That Neon Lights sure knows how to run a club." "You're telling me." Pinkie Pie said. "Yeah," Vinyl Scratch said "And I really enjoyed our fight." "So did I." Pinkie Pie said "We both did our best and we have no regrets. So I say that makes us both winners." "Indeed it does Pinkie, indeed it does." Vinyl Scratch said, "Mares and gentlecolts let's hear it for Pinkie Pie and Vinyl Scratch!" Neon Lights said. The auidence clapped and cheered loudly as the protective barrier faded. "Best of luck in your final match Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said "And don't you dare think of losing!" "Don't worry Vinyl Scratch." Pinkie Pie said "I don't even know the meaning of the word." "Oh Pinkie Pie." Vinyl Scratch said. She, Neon Lights, and Pinkie Pie all burst out laughing a moment later. But it was a good hearty laugh, and Pinkie Pie needed it. The final match was sure to be tough.
