Huh? --- A/N: Wha…? --- ---Take #2--- Scoffing once, Zexion floats his lexicon in front of himself and open toward his opponent. A chartreuse pattern of light shines from the open page. Twilight suddenly feels her entire body being compressed as a similar book appears behind her. The camera's view of her is obscured by smoke. As she screams in fright, the smoke clears to a closed book. It opens to a page that holds all text on one side. On the opposite page is a picture of a standing… Sora? Wait, what happened to Twilight? --- A/N: Cut! --- ---Take #3--- Shuma is teleported in a white light. He reappears in a... snow cone(?) in Discord's paw. Letting loose a bit of steam, Shuma shouts. “Ahhhhhh! He’s eating my brain!” --- A/N: Shuma, we’ve been over this. You’re supposed to scream, “Enough!” *sigh* Cut! --- “No, seriously! He’s eating my *eff*ing brain!” --- A/N: Discord, quit eating his brain. --- But his intelligence tastes so good. ---Take #4--- Wait... now we're at some golf course and Rarity and Sweetie Belle are wearing kimonos? B, what did you rig this arena with again? Muffin buttons. What? What? ---Take #5--- Charging forward to test the waters, Yu runs forward and swings his sword through the faced smoke cloud three times. When he pulls back, he's surprised to see that his blade is covered in black rocks. While he's distracted, a dark crystal pillar grows up from just underneath. This sends Yu's sword flying off screen. "All right then," he says while holding his open palm up, "Let's try this!" But before he can call his Persona, his blade from earlier falls hilt-side, smack underneath Sombra’s horn. The unicorn/smoke cloud falls to the stage floor unconscious. An anime sweat drop hangs on Yu. “Uh, is he okay?” Yu wonders. --- A/N: Cut! We need a medic! --- ---Take #6--- “Argus Agony!” Peacock hollers as multiple lasers fire from her bird and a bunch of peacock feathers that appear above her. Shaking her head and getting back on her feet, Pinkie Pie performs a confusion dance. Somehow, in that confusing display, she dodges all of the lasers. It’s simply amazing. ---Take #7--- But just as Spike sighs in relief, Magikoopa flies by sprinkling magic dust from his wand. The lava-filled room shakes violently. From out of the red depths, a giant Bowser emerges. He’s mad, but he’s laughing deeply. Twilight comes on the upper ledge and copies the spell that she just witnessed. Spike groans in pain as his body and limbs stretch out. He then lets out a deeper roar. His greedy adult form stands ready against the giant Bowser. In their growth spurts, the dragons have toppled over most of Bowser’s castle. Luigi points in fear. “Mama mia! It’s-a Godzilla!” “It may look-a like Godzilla,” commented Mario, “But-a due to the trademarks and-a the copyrights and the complicated laws, it’s-a not him.” “Still, we should-a really run!” “But it’s-a not Godzilla.” Then, they scream in unison, “Ahhhhh!” ---Take #8--- “Makeover!” says Rarity while hopping lightly. “Wait, what?” Johnny asks. Random supplies from the boutique are quickly levitated as well as Rarity’s changing curtain. Noises that imitate power tools can be heard off screen as a dust cloud covers the outermost edges of what the camera can see. The curtain is pulled away to reveal… Johnny Cage in a white tuxedo complete with a black bow-tie. “Much better.” Rarity nods to herself. “Can’t… breathe,” pants Johnny, turning blue before falling to the ground. Rarity wins! Animality ---Take #9--- Water Twilight levitates three liquid orbs while balancing on top of a pond’s surface. Earth Big Macintosh kicks up a boulder and then kicks it outward. Fire Celestia flies up with the sun behind her. Air Rainbow Dash clears clouds away with a mini-tornado. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the chaos benders attacked. Discord waves his hands over puppet strings and brings unhappiness to ponies of every type. Only the avatars, master of all six elements could stop them. But when the world needed them most, one of them vanished. Nightmare Moon is banished into the moon. A thousand years had passed when my brother and I discovered the new avatar, a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. Applejack furiously shakes Twilight’s hoof. Although her magic skills are great, she has a lot to learn before she’s ready to save any pony. Twilight gets pummeled by a potted flower, an anvil, a cartful of hay, and a grand piano. But I believe, Twilight can save the world. Twilight stands on top of the castle wall as an unusual breeze flows through her mane. ---Take #10--- After a few circles around, Applejack lets go of the rope letting the tied up quarry go flying. She watches the opponent fly off out of sight. “Yee-haw!” she hollers. “I’m blasting off again!” Bunnie hollers before disappearing into a twinkle in the sky. ---Take #11--- “Wish? Pah!” Nightmare scoffs, “I have no wish that a mere skull could grant. I have all the power I need!” She then whisks away in her gaseous form, leaving the door wide open on her way out. … Wow, I didn’t think it was possible for a skull to pull off the “forever alone” face. ---Take #12--- The chosen fighters are literally dropped onto an open-space arena. While they each have misgivings about their circumstance, they still stand. Talim stares speechless at the sight before her. The camera pans over. … Why is Fluttershy in her tree costume? “Um… Sudo…woodo?” Fluttershy whispers. ---Take #13--- A popping noise is heard. This is followed by a cracking sound… and another… and another. Luna tries to fight the strangle-hold, but all this accomplishes is making her eyes roll up. Finally, her body can’t take anymore as her horn charges a white aura. Both combatants disappear in the blink of an eye. Our space cam takes a look at the surface of the moon. The combatants reappear at this stage. Suddenly, Hulk’s eyes are opened very wide. His choking grasp switches from Luna’s neck to his own. Free from the giant’s grasp, Luna falls onto the rock and lets out a coughing fit. “Perhaps I can just, rest here for a moment,” she mutters as she lies down. Contrary to the rest of his green body, Hulk’s face turns blue. ---Take #14--- Uh… Ah… Uh… What? There we go. I don’t know why we were so worried before. That Slender Pedo is easy. … W? Are you still with us? *waves his hand in front of W’s face* Suddenly, in W’s place sits a faceless, suited man. Ahhhhhhhh! *bzzrt* ---Take #15--- Chrysalis struggles to move from her spot as Orchid approaches. The biped unzips her jacket and a white flash blocks the view from the viewers. The light fades only after she zips back up. Surprisingly, Chrysalis finds the energy to stand up and laugh. Her hoof grabs at a piece of her carapace and pulls it open. Another flash of light blinds the audience before she replaces the piece. Orchid throws her tonfa to the ground and crosses her arms in anger. ---
